Oh yeah, Hubby is right about the roosters, they should eat all of them. You don’t need roosters for eggs unless you want to have a brooding hen or two for your own chicks.

One of our broody chickens hatches 8 out of 12 eggs. Trouble was that of the 8 ...7 were roosters....the hen thought she was a rooster also...having adopted the behavior of her brothers ...so six roosters got relocated to the freezer

When we put the two back with the flock,,,the hen would hump the other chickens...one time the rooster caught them in the act and humped the both of them.

"You don’t need roosters for eggs...."

It amazes me how many grown adults with college degrees are baffled by this - did they never take Biology 101?
Roosters are not a good-neighbor policy in a suburban coop - agree on eating them.

(Plans are to barter for a rooster when the SHTF to keep the chicks coming).
