I think we have decided on separating the roosters from our pullets. We only have 5 pullets this year since we are new to this and wanted to see how everyone will due during the Alaskan winter, I don't want roosters harming any of my gals.

Could it be a good idea then to maybe have a separate area inside the run away from the main coop for the roosters to be during those times? I plan on getting more layers but don't want them being harmed due to the roosters.

Oh, that seems like a better option!! We are new to raising chickens and will expand our pullets slowly. Don't want to be overwhelmed right off the bat!

Ok, I may look into slaughtering whichever gets bigger the fastest. Our goal is definitely eggs then meat, but I don't need to lose hens early because of the roosters. Thank you!

Hey all, I was just reading about how more than one rooster can be very problematic...I currently have 7 hens (well young ladies) and 2 roosters. These two happened to be straight-run. Can I keep raising them with my hens or will I have to kill one as soon as he is big enough? Thank you!
