I am going to keep some chickens on my allotment is it necessary to keep a cockeral and if so how do you control how many chicks you get.
You don't need any cockerels if you only reason for keeping chickens is to get eggs...hens lay eggs without him..There is so much to know about chickens and looking after them..you have to read and learn basics... ;) They are lovely things to have and look after but it is hard work too and remember you have to see to them minimum once a day, every day.. so ask yourself...are you willing and able to do that..
:o..I think I am one of those wimps...I only keep my birds for eggs..
