I love that this article popped up now, as I am in an excessive rooster dilemma too and have been stressed over what to do with them. They are my pets and the thought of getting rid of them is unbearable. Someone local had suggested a “bachelor pen” for them. Is it reasonable or better for the...

Thank you so much for the advice!

I’ll try to attach a pic so you can see. They have a mirror coop inside the run that we have separated with a gate so they definitely see each other and they can go into the coop at will. I just didn’t know how safe it was to let them close to each other but I think I like the idea of supervised...
