When a hen has been with a rooster is she bred for life?
If you are asking if chickens are monogamous then No. Hens are bred by whatever rooster decides she is close enough and available. In a farmyard with several roosters an individual hen can be mounted by two or three roosters through the course of the day.
What do you do if you have two roosters and all your hens are losing feathers?
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.
How many pounds of precooked chicken fajitas for 20 people?
A single rooster can be enough for 20 hens, but it's possible to have several more than that. Roosters may, of course, fight if they are in the same flock, but they can also live peacefully together. It depends on the roosters and the situation, e.g. how they are introduced, if they are raised together, how territorial they are, etc. It's also a matter of how well they do with the hens. Even two roosters can sometimes be too much for the hens to handle if they're extremely aggressive with breeding with the hens. Older roosters will often be better around hens, so it's often better to have an older rooster already present if you're introducing a younger rooster, instead of just adding a few young roosters, but again, it just depends on each individual rooster and what he's like. Most young roosters will get better with the hens the longer they spend with them. Right now, I have five roosters living with a flock of 18 hens, and could even introduce more roosters if I wanted. They all live together very peacefully, aside from the occasional fight in the spring. All of the hens are happy, and don't get harassed by the roosters.

Do we eat hens or roosters, and what are the differences in taste and texture between the two?
Hens are typically eaten more often than roosters because hens are better for meat production. Hens tend to have more tender and flavorful meat compared to roosters, which can be tougher and have a stronger flavor.

Do roosters turn into hens?
Yes. If there isn't a roster in the flock already then it isn't rare for a hen to turn into a rooster. They even cock-a-doole-do. I have had two hens turn into roosters because the rooster got eaten by a fox... lol

You have two many roosters If you removed two and kept them together would they be ok without the hens. we do not want to kill them.?
Depends on their personality. Very rarely can you keep two rooster together by them self. Saying that i have 4 roosters for my 17 hens and they all have a pretty good personality so it's ok. If your rooster fight though and you don't want to kill them (i wouldn't want to kill mine either) try to find somebody who doesn't have a rooster or someone who will take one more. Even if you put an ad in the paper or on the internet. I have had luck on the internet with my roosters. hope this helps a little
