Many peeps keep bachelor pads, me included. I keep mine... for eating and breeding only. But some people have the means to consider them pets fully. Mine are treated well still. Anyways...
My stock load goes up and down because all boys who hatch act like the crazed teens you mention before they meet their destiny. SO in order to control over mating and genetics.. all my boys stay together.
Their coop is attached to my hens', divided by a wire wall. The outdoor run and pastures are divided by a 4 ft tall wire fence (chain link is best), and extra secured by an E wire at comb and waddle height... only takes once or twice before they QUICKLY learn to respect the E fence. Yes I tried it myself so I could know what they are feeling!
When I want fertile eggs... I swap a rooster (not cockerels because I'm picky) into my hen coop after dark and back to the other boy coop after dark the next night or sooner.. so he doesn't lose his place in the cock pecking order. Anytime a removal takes place or someone finds a new home... havoc usually breaks out short term while a new order is established.
I move new grow outs from my hatching into the stag pen as soon as they are off heat (or mama) and identifiable as male. In this way older boys accept them easily as they are not yet competition. Some even give them treat and such.
My current stag coop and pen is 12x12 indoors and maybe 2000 sq feet out doors, some covered. My max load is around 25 full size boys, but not long term. My long term keepers are more like 6 or 8 boys. Sometimes more is better because it's more like rooster ping pong instead of any one jerk being able to bully for too long.
So far all have been individuals. And I cull for attitude first and foremost.. as I want a peaceful flock that brings me joy in addition to it does breed forward and I do hatch.
I also have smaller coops and pens I use for various reasons, mostly controlling genetics when I want to hatch something specific or project. A plain fence will not work to keep boys from fighting. They get injured through the fence. And often, my boys who are fine when together will fight through the fence and be fine when back together again. Simple E wire works well.
Sorry no pics... too little memory on my devices.
The two main coops I talk about are the back of my pole barn divided with pop doors that open from the outside into their respective pastures. I will mention that keep bantam and large fowl roosters together. I only separate my bantam hens from the large fowl when I pout a large fowl rooster in for breeding to prevent ACCIDENTAL injury.. love knows no size.
Good luck finding homes!
No shame in letting them go to feed someone else's family or pets, even if it isn't right for you. Many of us will do it as quickly and humanely possible so it's over fast. We know our animals had a very good life and one bad moment.
They do best when kept with large fowl boys, I think it helps keep their "little man" syndrome in check. Their behavior is ONE reason I no longer raise Silkies. Have 5 Silkie cockerels going to a new home soon and then a final 5 heading to freezer camp shortly there after. Then no more Silkies. The were a fun breed to experience... just not the right breed for me.
