You two that both have 2 roosters, how is that working? Does each rooster have their own flock or are they all together?

I have a young rooster (11 weeks) that is really sweet and I'm hoping he'll get along with my established Roo.

Mine just live freely with all the hens. I've never seen them fight, they are actually really close, to the point that usually I can't take a picture of one without the other photobombing. It depends on the individual personalities of the birds involved. I had better odds with my boys because Alohas are known for being pretty docile and non-aggressive, but any two roosters of any breeds could potentially live together fine as long as those two birds have the right personality to tolerate it. Some roosters can't be kept with any other males without fighting, but I would personally see that as a pretty strongly negative trait and remove that rooster from the flock/gene pool.

Well aren't they handsome boys!
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I sure hope they'll get along.

I have tried a few different ways that have all worked.
1st, that was easy was take a tall 5 gallon bucket, fill with at least 4 inches of water. Add 1/2 cup of the black sunflower seeds. They will float on the top. Add this bucket where there are no dogs able to disturb.
I put against a wall with a chair. If you want to ️ and see of any went in for dinner, because they are busy at night, thus we have to farm cats which have worked the best.
Use a stick and see if they have fallen in. Leave it up for 3-5 days before emptying and start over moving the container.
2nd, this is a non-toxic way for the owls or other birds of prey.
Use half Paris of plaster and half all purpose flower, mix well, and put it in a small dog carrier so no other animals can get in to eat. Have water for them to drink nearby.
3rd, get farm cats.

You, too. It looks like Wednesday and Thursday will give a tiny bit of relief, and then back up there again.

That is soooooo irresponsible
Especially since there is such a shortage of chicks.
And all the loss of money on part of hatcheries, and customers

I agree, and I bet some of the customer's were thinking that the hatcheries were the one's that messed up on it.
