4 young roosters and older rooster

[LeeAnn Toler]

Okay guys, I found out that I have 4 young roosters. I already have a older rooster well I don't know what to do with 5 roosters, is this going to be a handful? I can tell that my hens are getting frustrated with all the roosters. My older rooster is going at the young roosters and since I have 4 young roosters, it's wearing him out.

Try to sell all the young rooseters, if not, only keep 1. The rooster to hen ratio should be 1:10.

Definitely get rid of all the roosters but one, or all if you don’t plan to keep any. The hens get over bred and can get seriously injured or even die. Rooster to hen ratio should be as the above poster said, one to ten at the max.

Eat them, sell them or give them away. Unless you have a lot of space and a large number of females that many cockerels is going to create an unhappy flock.
