9 roosters

We don't have the hearts to butcher any of our beautiful guys, and so far, they get along

Most roosters will develop a pecking order amongst themselves. I don't see any real fighting with most as long as they aren't confined and they can run away if necessary from each other.

I think if no hens are about, the boys can get along with each other.

As long as they are separate from hens you should be fine

But they are more birds to feed and give nothing back, if you aren't using them for breeding/ for the table. Someone else might have a need for a flock rooster.

We will be finding homes for most of them. They are so beautiful.

Here is the only rooster we have ever butchered. It was traumatic for everyone involved.

I have 5 cockerels and 4 pullets and 1hen
I have had to rehome roos in the past

But these ones are getting along fine they are no worse with the pecking order than the ladies are
And they are all going through puberty
So I hope it stays this mellow

Your boys are very handsome

Thank you. They are handsome. So far, only the rooster we have had problems with in the past is causing issues.

Maybe you could pack up his things, put him in a cab and tell him to go elsewhere to find his fortune.
