Just needing some info on housing roosters. I live in Southwest Va. near the Kentucky, West Viginia border. Everyone that has fighting roosters keeps them in a really small enclosure. Sometimes wire with a tarp for the roof, and sometimes just a 55 gallon barrel cut out. Usually the wire footprint is about 3' by 3'. I know they have to keep them separate because they fight them. My question is I have 5 different breeds of egg layers. I supposed to have one rooster each so later I can breed some back as purebreds. Will I need to have separate cages for my roosters also? Before anybody jumps and says thats not enough room and its not humane. I really don't condone the fighting but honestly even in the small cage without a run they're usually the best looking chickens you'll ever see. Just needin a little info on housing the roosters or can I just keep em all together?
