started first flock with 14 chicks around Easter, all supposed to be pullets. have 4 crowing and growing spurs with big combs and wattles so they must have been breaking in a new "sexxer" at the hatchery? anyway, they all have some size on them now and am wondering how much time i have to pair down the 4 roosters to 1 as i am inclined to keep one with the hens. I am out in the country with plenty of predators. my pen is16x36 ft, 6ft tall welded wire with 2"x4" mesh. there is a strong roof covering the pen so no hawks/owls so far.
do you think that the excess roosters might make it free ranging? (also have two labs). or should i just consign them to the freezer?... The excess roosters, not the labs
thanks in advance
