They are 2.5 months old. Two barred rock and one Cochin. None crow yet The barred rocks are a little wild. The Cochin doesn’t really act dominant like they do, but his comb and wattles are a lot redder and bigger than the Cochin hens. If they are, I’m gonna end up with four males for 20 females, and will probably end up getting rid of the barred rocks or separating them.

How many girls do you have? Do you plan to have a bachelor pad?
I've got 18 girls, but three are polishes and I've had to separate one today because she's getting pecked a lot, so I'm thinking about creating a Polish-only coop with those three, which would leave me with 15 hens in general population. I am not opposed to having a bachelor pad, but I'm going to end up with so many little mini flocks... 😬

If you do not want to have a bachelor pad, get rid of 2 cockerels, you can only keep one cockerel. Choose the nicest one...

That would definitely be the Cochin. He's like a teddy bear, though I'm sure that can change as they mature, but I've read Chochin roosters are typically pretty gentle.
