Also, for anyone that hasn't seen the new thread, here's the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rooster-flock-thread.1221382/. It doesn't have as much pages as this one, but it has some useful information that I don't think is included on this thread.

My rooster flock is doing good. They all get along with each other well. Domino has become aggressive towards humans, and I'm trying to train him. It's been working pretty well so far. That's too bad that your roosters are less friendly. :( I have a cockerel that used to be a lot friendlier...

Only two of my roosters were brought up together, but many of them were added when they were still young. Domino was introduced about 3 weeks ago and he was/is 6-7 months old (I don't know his exact age because I got him from someone else). It is usually better to introduce cockerels into your...

I noticed something new in my rooster flock today. One rooster, called Domino (he used to be a bully, until he was put in his place by alpha Griffin) has been bullied by my other roosters for about 2 weeks now. Today, I saw him with the other roosters as if he had been fully accepted. The other...

So handsome!:loveI have always wanted a red sex link (isa brown) rooster. They're so pretty!

If you can give them a separate pen, it should be more peaceful. As for feeding them, I feed all my chickens flock raiser feed because layer feed can damage non-laying birds' kidneys. Other feeds that are like flock raiser are grower feed and all flock feed.

Griffin is once again the leader of my rooster flock. He somehow defeated Domino. Domino is being bullied a little, so I'm still unsure if I should move him to a separate pen.

Update on Domino: Domino seems to have finally calmed down. I'm not going to remove him from the roo flock unless I need to. If he starts being a bully again, I will have to move him in with the hens or into a separate pen.

Domino is a total bully, he keeps attacking and fighting with the other roosters. Griffin won't give up and keeps fighting Domino, even though Domino has already won two times. Should I remove Domino from my rooster flock?

I recently got another rooster, Domino, and he defeated my Alpha rooster, Griffin. I'm not sure if he'll be a good leader or not. I had hoped he would lose to Griffin, so my rooster flock would stay peaceful.

Since they don't need nest boxes do you just give them roosting space for night time? Yup, roosters don't need nesting boxes. My roosters have a few roosts so they don't have to all sleep together. What made you decide to keep your roosters? I don't want them to get eaten, I feel like it's my...

My roosters are just as smart, if not smarter than my hens. Why do you think your roos are not as smart as your hens?

You could put Compass with the hens and Norman and Gus in a rooster flock.

Chipmunk is an old english game bantam.

Chipmunk (left) and Lupin (right) in the rooster pen. Finny, Griffin, and Huckleberry on the roost together. Huckleberry (right) and Finny (left), their tails look like that because they're molting.

Definitely! That's part of the reason I didn't put Chipmunk in with the roosters later (he's still kinda young) because he gets sad when Lupin isn't around. Lupin is pretty protective of Chipmunk, and they are always together in the rooster pen.

Yes. I would never put two hens with my rooster flock.

I decided to finally put my two cockerels with the rest of the roosters. At first, Lupin and Chipmunk (the cockerels) kept being pecked by the older roos. So, I put them in a cage in the rooster pen for the night and let them out in the morning. They were accepted into the rooster flock and no...

Yes, lol. :P

That sounds like a good ratio, and since the cockerels grew up together they'll probably get along better.
