How about the coop?
Beautiful yard.....but I don't see the coop and run?
Yes, 7wo young cockerels can start to spar and dominate,
and start grabbing the girls.
2 males make exponentially more trouble due to competition.
Might decide now what to do with those boys.
If you don't plan on hatching chicks, a male is unnecessary,
and can be a real pain in the butt and injurious to young children.
Sorry, I didn’t add the coop because they were fighting in the yard. Here it is. Once they are fully grown the coop will be a little small. It’s 6ft wide and 5 1/2 ft long. You can’t see the nesting boxes extended in the back in this picture. I was expecting to have a few cockerels in the batch and end up getting rid of them, but now I’m having second thoughts. Even though they are annoying the girls sometimes, they’re also showing protection over them which I really like. And really, I’m just going to feel terrible removing them from their family. So the thought is keeping them and expanding. Plus all the free room to roam the yard. My neighbors are fine with the noise too.
