anyone house a rooster ALONE?

I rotate my two roosters - we have a wire ring with a perch under the tarp, and the boys take turns living in there. We manicure their nails (with a little grinder) before letting them out, to make it easier on the hens. This seems fair to everyone, and also allows a little genetic variety.

Curious on how big your rooster accomidations are and how they look. Right now I have 5 roosters. 3 that get along are in a round pen outside and the Other two are living in a rabbit hutch I converted to a half and half rooster pen. Planning on upgrading it. Would love feed back.

one cockerel is in a 4 x 8 coop with a single pitched roof (5ft. hi in the back 6ft. hi in the front). I may end up putting the other roo in there, so he doesn't become to isolated in the winter, when the snow will prevent him from even seeing the other birds at all. The 'yard' for that pen is about 24' x 24'

I house cocks and stags alone all the time. Helps keep the peace when they're not needed for showing or breeding.
