I usually show my birds but not since covid. I learned years ago that once a take a male out to take to a show, it usually didn't go well putting him back in with the other males. I'm lucky that I have several coops and pens so I was able to put him into another coop and pen. I just sold the last of my excess males yesterday. After the first of the year I will be setting up my breeding coops and pens which means moving birds around. Good luck...
