We haven't really been up to anything. My flock got cut basically in half last fall mostly due to a pack of coyotes and a couple were lost to canker. It has been a hard time emotionally. But the flock I have left is doing great and super happy to see the green grass and buggies.

I have read the ousted rooster thread from last October but it didn't exactly answer the question I have, although very similar. I have 3 roosters and enough hens to go around. For 3 years or so, they have gotten along fine and had their own little harems that they watched over. All of a...
