I have kept 2 roos but with around 20+ hens. They were raised together. They divided up the ladies and gave each other space mostly. I will say they need a lot of space for this work and often it just does not work out. When working with animals esp 2 roosters always have a back up plan.
:'( Ok, thanks for reply! I will probably be looking to rehome one so they don't fight. We have 14 total.
Ok, thanks so much. We have a decent size meadow (about 1/2 acre) but fencing to keep them protected from vultures/hawks/etc. is pretty expensive.. We are currently using Omlet fence with some bird netting draped on top and that's been working. Not sure 6 or 7 hens per rooster would work but maybe we can wait and see. I will also post to see if there is someone interested on Craigslist or here.. We are in Oregon now.
