A while back i bought 20 "assorted reds" at TSC, and they threw in 4 for free. I now have a few RIR hens several gold comet hens and 7 RIR roos. I am thinking about keeping 2 roos. Some are larger than others. A couple follow me around like a puppy, and a few stay clear away from me. My chickens free range all day. I let them out at 7 a.m before i go to work, and close the coop door at 9 p.m. Should I keep the bigger, more aggressive roos to protect the hens, or keep a couple that are a little smaller, but act like pets, and do not flee when i get close. The hens are not laying yet, but should be in a few weeks.
