What Is This!!!

You shouldnt be getting another male, if right now, you have 4 males to one girl already.
Also, 6 girls to four boys still isnt the best, but it also depends on your males personality, and how rough they are with the females.

ok so i will get all ladies then, thanks ZoeS95423 for the help. how is 3 males too 10 girls is that not enough males or no?

Definitely, you need to only get ladies. The best ratio is 4-5 girls for each boy. Even then they may have favorites for breeding and really take the feathers off the back of the neck on one favorite girl. I often plan to separate my drakes from my hens for periods of time in the spring so the girls don't get sore or lame from being over bred.

Eating one is fine by me. They are livestock, no matter how cute I find them to be.

You should have at least 3 females per 1 male. You don't want the females overmated, and this will keep down the fights amongst the males.

I meant to say 11 girls. And i plan on separating the boy from the girls, because I might want to do a few shows with the girls, and you cant show them if they dont have any feathers on their backs now can I.
