I am the proud keeper of four lavender orpingtons, approximately 22 weeks old. Yesterday three of them started crowing up a storm. Up until that point we weren't sure if they were cockerels or pullets, it took them so long to start crowing, and they seem to live each other. They stay together while they free range, and they snuggle while they roost. I'm wondering how long they will continue to be so good, I'm worried that we should try to rehome then before any fights break out, but my husband thinks that orpingtons are gentle enough that they will continue to love each other. Does anyone have any words of wisdom, or experience dealing with this many roosters?
