Adding another rooster- Problem need advice

[Minky]

I just came to see if you got a good answer to this problem as it will be a problem for me in future too. New territory for me, most people wouldn't keep additional roosters as they just eat too much so to me you are already more experienced having a rooster pen but I think every situation is uniquely different, every cockerel will behave differently.
I have the same concerns though, do I introduce them all together in future, do I introduce the males alone first to sort out their issues and then add the rest? How to best introduce them without having issues? Is there a good answer to these questions?
I think your approach to letting them sort it out free-ranging seems like a bad approach as one never came back again. So next time try having them see each other for a while first like you did, but then introduce them caged and supervise them. As long as they don't kill each other, at least one won't be able to run off but I am in the same boat wondering what is best.

yeah, you know- its the first time that has ever happened. Usually they sort it out- one gets the barn and the barnyard, the other get the orchard and the forest. The "main " rooster gets the barn/barnyard, and the "loser" free ranges but it works out for both because most of my hens love to be in the forest! Im not sure hwy it didnt happen this past time.

I have locked up my CCLB. My two other roosters that get along will be my roosters this summer. I just need to remove the spurs on Rusty- they are 3 inches! but he is in a chicken tractor and I cant get him LOL.

no name Wyandotte

Maybe his name should be Nemo. It means Nobody in Latin

Hens are easy to name, I find roosters very hard.
I also have a big, gentle grey rooster (lavender orpington). Got a name for him? LOL
