fireman 11,389 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes and they both should produce but you will find the cock will favour one hen and help with the rearing and the other hen will be on her own with it all,that's what happened to mine last year but i ran a full greenie trio. . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,786 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 No mate you don't have to ring mules. Your better of using a goldie cock than a greenie if your going to be wanting to sell the young though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what happened with my greenie trio last year... the cock only helped one hen feed the chick's and the other hen had to do it all on her own.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
