No. Roosters from the same clutch of eggs will mate with hens from the same batch with little or no genetic problems in the first few generations. It is always a good idea to renew or refresh the genetic line every few years just to ensure that problems do not arise. Unlike humans, animals are not bound by moral constraints when it comes to mating.

Will it hurt for a rooster to eat layin pellets?

No The laying mash or pellets are fine for the rooster. There really is no way to stop the rooster from eating the same things you feed the hens other than keeping them separated. My hens are fed laying crumble all year long and the roosters thrive on it.


Explain the difference between organic eggs free range and free run eggs vs supermarket eggs?

Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.


What amounts of laying mash should you feed your hens a day?

Typically, hens should be fed 1/4 to 1/3 pound of laying mash per day per bird. Adjust the amount based on the number of hens you have and their individual egg production. It's important to monitor their body condition and egg production to determine the right amount for your flock.


How many pounds of food does a cat eat monthly?

This really depends on the quality of the food the cat is fed on, also how much food the cat eats in a day (the lower quality the food, the more the cat will eat). For a cat fed on a premium-quality wet cat food, it would probably eat approximately 15lbs of food per month.


At a center the baby dogs need to be fed every 8 hours and the baby cats are both fed every 6 hours if the dogs and cats are both fed at 930AM when will they be fed again at the same time?

The answer would be when 8 hour increments meet up with 6 hour increments (the least common multiple of 8 and 6). In this case it's 24 hours later, at 9:30AM again.

What is the lifestyle of a rooster?

A rooster's lifestyle totally depends on what type of flock he is in and the expectations of his owner.Commercial chickens:In the egg laying market, roosters are only needed to produce the hens that will lay the eggs. He is in housing similar to the broiler market.For the broiler market, roosters are only needed to produce the chicks that will be sent to market between 7 and 9 weeks of age. The roosters are kept in long houses that are crowed with thousands of hens. For each rooster, there are about 25-30 hens. The job of the rooster is to mate, and the job of the hen is to lay the eggs for the next generation. It is a crowded, stressful, dusty and rather boring existance.For the home flock, roosters have better options.They can be kept in coops or houses with runs with a small flock of hens or a fairly large group. Basically these are dirt floored with food and water provided daily. Their job is to mate with the hens whenever they can catch a hen.They can be pasture raised with unlimited access to grasses and insects and they might have supplemental feed or grain. Water is available. Again, their job is to mate with the hens.Roosters are pretty. They can be raised as the family pet with all the luxuries the owner can afford to give.There is still the role of the fighting cock. Good looking roosters are singled out, raised alone with minimal shelter, fed a high meat diet and will eventually be used in a life or death battle in the fighting ring.
