Hi, let me start this by saying I love roosters, I think they’re awesome. I’m in a pickle here. I’ve got 23 hens, and 5 roosters. My primary rooster is a bantam Cochin, my secondary is a huge brahma. My third in command is a bantam old English. And 2 cockerels about 4 months old. The cockerels are in that horrible amped up “randy” stage, so I’ve separated them from the flock. My Brahma roo has been bucking up on my primary bantam. He could kill my little Cochin, so he’s in with the cockerels. (They don’t fight, they actually get along). My old English doesn’t do much of anything except dance around my hens. Even if he was to buck up on my little Cochin, they’re almost the same size, with little nubby talons.
Anyway my question- is it possible to have a bachelor flock as well as a regular flock? I’d separate the flocks of course. I’d like to keep all my Roos, any ideas? I’ve got plenty of yard space, 3 coops, and a run about 4x10x30. My two cockerels hang out there during the day.
