    Can I mix roosters and hens only part of the year?

    Currently I have 5 four months old cockerels and 5 pullets + hens. I intend to keep my cockerels in a bachelor pad and mix them with the hens only in summer season so I can get baby chicks. Can this be done? I really don't want to cull any cockerels. If so, what should I be looking out for?
