Bachelor Coop photos, please?!

[6chickens in St. Charles]

5 little bantam roobabies almost 5 months old. Undecided whether to keep any, but some look promising for pets. Will shortly require seperating before they make each other an ugly mess. We have a few plans for seperate coops, and at least one other home, but if anybody has good "Bachelor Coops" please post!

Thanks!

Mine is just a 10 by 10 metal coop. If they all get along fine you should be able to keep them together. (i do)

Here is my bachelor coop/run. Nothing fancy, but it works great. I have 16 heritage RIR's that are almost a year old and they all get along fine. Some folks may think that the coop may be a little small for them, but all they do is roost in it.

Yes without hens​

Well, so far they don't fight, and they're hatched in September, making this their 5th month. By now the aggressive ones should be showing up.

But I still want to seperate them from the hens, they're all pretty randy and the hens don't like it. I think I'll try a bachelor pad in the garage and try to let them all freerange together during the day. At least then the hens will get a break every pm and every day til we let them together.

As long as they don't fight I would not worry. Chook-A-Holic your's is cool looking

I just told one little rooboy to "Get off my hen!" and he stopped and looked up at me like, "What? Oh. Sorry.". I wonder if I keep telling them "Dont do that" if they'll be trainable to keep off the hens. I just never thought to try it.

Wish me luck!
