Learn about Ethics & Responsibility:

Discuss how economy breeds are desired for high egg production hens only. Common breed roosters have a low value. The cost to raise a layer breed for meat consumption is 3x the cost as it is to raise a meat breed. (takes 6 months versus only 8 weeks for meat breeds).

Rare breed roosters have a higher chance to find a home for competitive show bird breeding. However, only 1 rooster is needed per 8 hens. While multiple hens are frequently accepted, it is illegal in most cities to have a rooster as a pet.

Nature typically is balanced with 50% males to females, however, individual hatches vary. Thus, buying from responsible breeders such as www.serenitysprouts.com that can take back roosters is often a high concern for most families.
