Title: Two Roosters
Post by: Chicken_Lover on April 19, 2011, 16:09

I just wanted to ask:

Are you supposed to keep two Roosters together with only one Hen? We still have eggs off the one Hen but I was just wondering if you were supposed to keep two Roosters together, they can fight one minute and then be the best of friends the next.

Help please?

Even 1 rooster to one hen is not fair on the hen, let alone 2 to 1.  Can't you get rid of one rooster and buy a few more hens?

Or keep both roosters and buy lots more hens?  :)

Yes, the neighbor is having one of the and we are buying three other hens in a couple of weeks.
