I do not eat hens or roosters.
As a general rule, people tend to eat hens more often than roosters because hens are typically raised for their meat. Hens are also known for having more tender and flavorful meat compared to roosters.
Yes, the average American will eat around 3,000 to 4,500 calories in one Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes it is. A pretty lethal one. Do not eat it.
Yes, there is a conflict between Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men in his cave and begins to eat them one by one. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus, which angers the Cyclops and leads to further conflict between them.
Moral [ethical] claims are claims about important values. Not all value judgments are moral judgments. If you prefer orange juice to grapefruit juice, that is a value judgment but it's not an important one. By way of contrast, if you prefer that women should be able to choose whether or not to have an abortion rather than being forced to bring a fetus to term when they are pregnant, that is a value judgment that qualifies as a moral judgment because it is about something important.

no that wont work. the roosters will end up fighting. you need one rooster and how ever many hens you want. and yes you can eat the eggs. To add: the optimum number of hens per rooster of medium-sized birds is 12. Maximum, 20.
The amount of roosters needed for breeding hens is about one rooster per ten hens
One
Better to say 4 roosters is too many for 4 roosters. The 6 hens can wait a bit and soon there will be one rooster a-go-go, one in the hereafter, one running away, and one squating on the ground. The hens could deal with 6 roosters, but the big boy a go-go won't stand for more than him with his flock. actually 1 rooster needs 5 hens to be satisfied other wise roosters will fight One rooster will service (fertilize the eggs of) up to 6 hens. If you have more than 6 hens, you will need another rooster. 4 roosters on 6 hens is not good. The roosters will fight and the hens will be exhausted running from all the roosters.
There shouldn't be a problem as long as the number roosters is not to large. The average ratio is one rooster for every four to six hens. If there are any more roosters than this they can cause damage to the hens.
if the majority is on the roosters,the rooster will fertilize the hen. and in some conditions, the rooster will peck the hens feathers of. the roosters wood constantly be guarding it from coyotes, minks, (ect..)the hens wood constantly try to get away. if the number of hens is less than five or in that area,the hen wood have a hard time laying eggs. more eggs will be layed if influenced by other hens. its tradition to put wooden eggs in the nesting boxes to influence them. on the other hand, if theres more hens then roosters, they will spend time with each one, and fertilizing the hens. its best to have only two roosters, along with two emergency roosters.
I would only use one. Roosters can be very aggressive towards hens and can do a lot of feather, wing, neck, and back of head damage to a hen. The more hens the rooster has, the less he will be on each one in any given period of time. Give the girls some time to recover! lol
Having two roosters can lead to increased aggression and stress among them, which could result in excessive mating behavior and feather loss in hens. It's recommended to separate the roosters into different coops to reduce competition and give the hens a chance to recover. Providing ample space, hiding spots, and ensuring the hens have a balanced diet can also help alleviate the issue.
Actually, roosters are usually the only kind of chicken eaten. Hens are kept for egg laying and a few roosters stay on a farm to fertilize the many females. Since few are needed to keep the flock fertile, the roosters not eaten (There are a large excess of them after the eggs hatch) are sold to food processing plants. I hope I have answered your question.
A chicken can be considered fully grown at one year. Prior to that changes are still going on inside and out and the bird is still learning how to be a chicken. Hens under one year are called PULLETS and Roosters under one year are called Cockerels. When they reach that first year milestone they are then called hens and roosters.
4 hens per rooster is a better ratio. Roosters often "rough up" the hens when they breed, so having more hens will prevent any one hen from being picked on too much. I know lots of people who feel like 8 hens per rooster is about the maximum the average rooster can handle.
