After rehoming cockerels should I try to help their sister make a friend?

[LaFleche]

Let me try to explain what I’m asking hopefully you don’t find it too confusing! I have three groups of chickens my big chickens, my juveniles as I call them, and then my broody hen who has a cockerel and a pullet. My big chickens have a fat Cochin rooster and there are ten hens. My juveniles live with my big chickens but pretty much keep to themselves and are pretty scared of the big chickens. Their group is two cockerels and one pullet and are about 14 weeks. Amelia my hen is at the moment living in the small side coop where she raised her two babies who are roughly ten weeks one of which is a boy and the other a girl. My two cockerels I am about to rehome and I’m afraid their sister is going to be terribly lonely and sad as the other chickens chase and peck her she is very small and sensitive. Amelia is ready to move back into the big coop and I’m willing to let her wild little cockerel move in with her but I’m wondering if maybe I could keep her pullet and the juvenile pullet in the small coop together so they could become friends and not be alone when i finally move them into the big coop. I’m sorry if this is confusing but curious to know if this could work.

Does sound like a good plan to me.

If you do not plan to keep the younger cockerel with your main flock, I suggest you rehome him as well like the other two.

Yeah they would all go to the same place though and the one cockerel hates Amelia’s boy. He kept trying to go after him through the fence.
