You can keep him with the other's. I don't see why you'd have to separate him, unless he's a complete jerk.

Hormones kicks in between 5-6 months of age. Some boys are natural gentlemen, some are jerks.

Jerks can be corrected if put in a flock of mature hens, they'll boss him around, & teach him manners.


Some boys can be gentlemen to the hens, but aggressive towards humans. Human aggressive cockerels can be either Rehomed with a warning, or culled.

Each Cockerels/roosters are an individual, & have their own unique personality, crow, & attitude.

Any reason why you don't want roosters though?

I'm 100% sure it's a cockerel.

You're welcome.

I have 17 big baby roosters, & only have 3 jerks. I had 18 big babies, but I forgot one was killed by the other so I had to minus him from the equation.

I don’t know I have no experience with rooster maybe they will be super loud all the time ? Maybe they will hurt hens constantly??? I don’t want hens to suffer. Just no experience with roosters but o know they can be a good watch for the hens . Maybe they will be mean ? I don’t know really.
