My hens seem to be laying later. And later. And later every day. The ones that haven’t quit for the winter, that is.

actually, you can tell if an egg has been fertilized. they have a microscopic red dot on the yolk, i never eat those ones, it’s practically chicken abortion….lol i’m twelve years old and have 27 chickens, we sold 3 roosters so we have 1 left. my faves are Noodle(my rooster),Doodle, Nut & Olive!

I had more than one rooster in my pen back when I had them penned, without any trouble, but I’ve heard other people say otherwise, so I suppose it just depends on your particular roosters!

Hey,
I was wondering if you could have more than one rooster in the same pen or enclosure?

I have 9 hens, no roosters, and they are semi-free range. They all lay in the same place in the coop. One Rhode Island Red will find a laying coop-mate and lift the mate literally off the nest, to see if the mate has laid that egg, already. She is Chicken On Patrol. Another one, a Barred Rock, will scream with indignation if I show up while she is laying. “Do you MIND, I’m OVULATING!”

I never knew chickens were so funny.

You have beautiful birds! These roosters look so handsome, which makes me want to raise some roosters next year. :mrgreen:

I love the chicken stories because they sound so much like my own. I sometimes wonder if I’m normal to be so attached to and interested in all the chicken drama at my place. And you’re so right about the roosters…they are such suspicious fellows and don’t seem at all appreciative of the food and drink I supply. I must confess that my relationship with them is not as close as the one I have with the hens. It’s a girl thing, I guess.

I foresee a video camera in the chicken coop soon so you can figure out the mystery!
