Are two Roos too many?

[jewelzbird]

Well we started a new flock after an Unfortunate mountain lion attack. These babies are 12 weeks old now. One Frizzle turned out to be male right away. He is absolutely gorgeous! He’s already been crowing for a month. Now I’m seeing that one of our silkies (the family favorite!) looks to be a boy as well. Do you think so? Of course these are two of our very favorite chicks of the bunch. So my question is...is it even possible to have two roosters and what happens if you do? I don’t know how to chose which one can stay.

They’ll establish a pecking order, if they have 10 hens they should be fine, especially growing up together.

Silkie is male.
How many hens? How much space?

 

[sourland]

It all depends on the amount of hens, the amount of space, and the temperament of the cockerels/roosters involved. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't. Good luck/

13 hens (two are older gals). The space is large ...the coop is big enough to rent as a tiny home With two distinct sides and the run is about 15by15feet
