    Bachelor Pad next to the hens?

    I am in the process of planning a "poultry palace" for my chickens and ducks. We have one rooster now, but I want to be open to the possibility of having more than one rooster in the future. (I probably couldn't bring myself to kill any chicks that turned out to be boys.) I was hoping to...
