    Ok, so I need advice on this one as I’m not sure what to do! I currently have three roosters who aren’t with a flock, and I’ve been hoping to integrate them into a rooster flock—they are taking up two stalls in the barn, and I’d love if they could take up one stall instead (for another issue...
