Will I have too many roosters

[shmccarthy]

I had a 12:1 ratio and that worked pretty well for me. A fox came and took 7 hens and now I have a much smaller ratio. I noticed my roosters fighting a lot more and one has even turned agressive towards me, after being the most docile rooster I have ever had. I guess it just depends on the roosters and your circumstances but I can see it causing problems.

That should be fine! I have a way worse situation than you. I have 5 roosters and 14 hens. Not a good idea. But u should be ok.

I hope so. As lots of you have said though, it might be ok, or it might not. I might be getting enough hens so that it won't be a problem. Have any of you ordered from Stromberg's chickens before? That's where I was considering getting mine.

good news everybody. My straight run that hatched out of my GLW's egg is a pullet.
