savena5630 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi all, Am thinking of adding a few more girls to my 3 hens and one rooster set-up; I know that introductions can be long and difficult - but do you think the presense of a rooster will make it any easier?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It should make it easier as there will be no top hen spot to get. Some flocks with a cockerel still have a few bullying issues but I would say it would be a lot easier with the cockerel being the boss. What are you thinking of getting?

savena5630 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes, at the moment there doesnt seem to be any fighting/hen pecking issues with my three girls and boy. I'm not sure, i'd like a small and docile breed - about 2 or three! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sussex are nice docile birds and good layers too. I think that the buff and speckled are particularly pretty but are fairly big. They come in bantam though. Good luck with what you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
