i am building a new coop. i have 2 roos, 6 hens, 9 ducks and a turkey. i have a section in the coop for chickens, ducks, and my turkey. i am getting more hens soon, but my curent hens are suffering from bare back. i would like to separate my roosters from the hens but the only resonable place to put them is with the turkey. if i do that though, then the turkey will have to suffer with them. also, does taking away the hens increase the chance of fighting or decrease it? if all it will do is make them want to fight then i would probably keep them with the hens and just get more so that the ratio of hens to roos is higher.
in summary, should i put my roos with the turkey, or keep them with the hens and just get more hens?
i have a small farm of multiple types of animals but my birds are my personal favorites, 3 aracauna hens, an aracauna rooster, a houdan hen and roo, one sebret hen, 7 ducks, and a turkey. planning on more birds in the spring including quail, geese, and some more hens.
