They will not kill each other but they will gang up on your hens as there will be a poor hen to roster ratio.<br /><br />Looking at the hens in the background of the top pick i would say this is probably a hen. I love buffs they are such a great heritage breed and these have beautiful color!<br /><br />dont worry about ending up with to many that is what the freezer is for. You can also sell them after they begin to lay as "established layers" for between $10 and $20 a piece depending on your area.<br /><br />In the mean time you can hold off on your chick order if you like as they are hatched within 48 hrs of shipping (if you are having them shipped in) and it is not too late to make sure.<br /><br />They should begin to crow...if they are going to...within a few weeks from now. some of them are nice and quiet most of the time which can be great!<br /><br />in the mean time if you do end up with 20 chickens, I will admit it happened to me my first time! i just posted for this blog hop about different chicken coops, ironically, and the one pictured could help you. let me know! how it goes! ideserveit@gmail.com<br /><br />http://howsustainablecanwebe.blogspot.com/2010/07/chicken-habitat.htmlTeri Gelsethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829732105358641931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208986168060089190.post-37089412709291222462010-07-23T20:17:22.314-04:002010-07-23T20:17:22.314-04:00My Buff Orpintons are not this big yet.
