I have had hens for a few years but I recently I bought a straight run of Welsummer chicks and I ended up with 8 roosters. I have 8 hens that I would like to keep and I am thinking of keeping 1 of the roosters. Until I am able to relocate the other 7 roosters, can they be kept in a cage together (separated from the hens) or will that stress them or make them fight? Also, if I keep 1 rooster but do not want eggs fertilized, can I keep the one separated by himself in a separate cage, or is that not good for him either?
