We have eight buff orpington hens that were born may 07. we had a straight run, so we thought we'd get at least one rooster. we didn't. now we're going to order more chicks, but we want to make sure we end up with at least one rooster. and since chicks don't always make it, we thought we'd get 2-3 roosters. we really need a rooster because we want to have fertile eggs and our hens are pecking at each other and trying to be dominate. a rooster would establish more order. we hope.
again, all buff orpingtons.
what will happen if all three roosters survive? Can they do okay together in one hen house, or will we have to give two of them away?
we'd buy a full-grown rooster, but no one in our area has any available for sale. (we're in kentucky.)
Thanks...
