They really don't, roosters are only useful if you want to raise chicks, hens have natural fluctuations in egg production throughout the year reaching peak in spring/summer and falling off in the fall/winter and dropping to none just before and during molting.
it helps produce more chickens to lay more eggs. lol did you seriously think I was saying just the presence of a man will make a hen pop out eggs. I was going to say more but my phone died. I didn't even know my phone sent the message
So you're saying buy a rooster so it can mate with the hen lay more eggs raise those chick's to have more chickens to lay eggs... seems like a lot of work and time rather than buying more hens. I just figured you thought a rooster needs to mate with the hen to lay eggs, but your idea takes even longer.
I was thinking of as the chicken and rooster is just two I can save up to be ready to expand to make room for the babies. Plus it will allow me to know how to raise chickens from egg to adult. And yes it be a slow start but really I think they are only using the chicken for eggs. Buying chickens will just give you a shit load of hens and eggs. Which would probably go bad before you can eat them. Plus all those chickens who won't lay during certain times will be a lot to care for. So I will take the slow route. I know my pace.
Well by the sign they just want eggs to eat. I don't say buy a bunch of chickens maybe just one or two more, your way would leave you with a lot of chickens to raise
We had a chicken like that. Eaten by a possum. Only thing left was the outside. RIP Speckles. The dog we suspected killed the culprit and brought it to us. It was a possum.
