Two roosters at Herresta Lada. Ernst - the dark one - stays with us.
Our newly acquired hens carried on a secret; one of the hens has emerged as a rooster! That means 2 roosters in the hen house, one too many, especially as there are only 4 hens. Luckily we had extended the right to make a complaint at the time of purchase. So today we were and exchanged one rooster for a new little hen. There is always some gender insecurity, especially with this breed Orpington. And now the training of a new hen in the yard awaits, not at all as easy as we had hoped. Alone and at the same time subject to the hacking of others became the lottery for the newcomer. Now we will try to shake up the yard to facilitate cohabitation. Does anyone have any tips?
