I have a small flock of Brahmas. Currently six hens and two roos, but we might be swapping one of the hens for a third rooster (which I don't think is sustainable with that number of hens.) We also have a bunch of CX which are heading to freezer camp very soon, and a single Leghorn pullet. Everyone is about ten weeks old, but we need to sort this out very soon.
Two questions.
1. Would three Brahma roosters be sustainable with a group of five Brahma hens? I.e., would they kill each other or get along?
2. If we have two Brahma roosters instead of three, along with five Brahma hens and one Leghorn hen, would it be too hard on the lone Leghorn? I.e., do I need to find a home for the Leghorn? (I'd hate to do that, as she is our favorite bird, but it just dawned on us that the Brahma roosters are three times the weight of the Leghorn hens.)
I love the tappable experience of BYC!
Thanks very much in advance.
