I don't have a place to put keep them separate.

They are doing both. Fighting between roosters, mating right after one another. We are working on getting more hens!

Actually 1 was doing a 1 wing dance today and I thought something was wrong with him. What does it mean?

If we keep them separate won't the boys fight each other then? Do you let 1 at a time to mix with the hens? They are free range at the moment. She knows about keeping too many and our safety. She just is attached to ones that may need to go.

They are 6 months old. Is this young for chickens? I am fine with others eating them as long as I'm not around!

They are 6 months old so is that far from being a teen in chicken years??

We got 8 chicks which were our very first group of chickens. However we ended up with 5 roosters and are struggling with who to get rid of. Our daughter gets very emotional when we discuss needing to remove some of the roosters! Oh, I will not kill any of them myself nor have it done for me and...

I need advice. We had a group of 8 chicks that are now 6 months. Out of the 8, 5 are roosters. The safety of my kids comes first for me so I assume those coming after people will go. But then how do you choose which one to choose if the rest seem to be doing well??
