3 roosters!?

[Alex the Chicken]

I've been thinking to get Alex another companion becuz of what y'all been saying, and is anothe rooster okay? I alr have a bigger rooster that's 3 months old but I think Alex is too young to mix with him, but if a get another friend for Alex and it's a rooster do you think they'll fight? If there's a hen I'm afraid the 2 bois will start fighting.

Some people keep rooster flocks. If they don't have hens they won't fight. Good luck!

@RoostersAreAwesome you have one of these flocks right?

If you can find another male chick close to the same age as Alex, that would be best. You are right that the 2 roosters will fight over the hen once they are older. Alex needs someone his own size otherwise he may get hurt. Also make sure he is staying warm! Chicks less than a week old need it very warm (32-35°C), even at night.

What breed are your roosters? Do you have pictures of them?

Unsure why you'd want more cockerels if you don't plan to eat them. Just get him a pullet companion. Something you'll get eggs from later and less havoc to flock dynamic in the future too.

They want them as pets

If that’s the case, the OP should not get another rooster. Oriental game breeds are bred to fight nonstop, so usually don’t do well in rooster flocks.
