I think I have 5 roos and 2 hens right?
Our take
Oh, the delightful chaos of chicken math! It sounds like you've found yourself in a classic clucky conundrum with five roosters strutting around and just two hens to keep them company. While having a few roos can add some charm (and a whole lot of crowing) to your backyard flock, that ratio is a bit lopsided, to say the least! With those bantam beauties from your friend, it's important to strike a balance for everyone's happiness—especially the hens! Whether you’re considering rehoming a few of your feathered fellows or finding clever ways to keep the peace, you’re definitely not alone in this chicken drama. Let’s explore some egg-citing options for your feathery friends and keep the fun alive in your backyard!
 | It seems that only 2 are hens so I probably need to find a way to get rid of the roos. I'm ok to have roos where I live but 5 roos to 2 hens isn't not going to work, lol. They are some bantam breed from a friend. [link] [comments] |
