I have 2 hen houses;
'Cedar House' currently has 6 laying mixed breeds with a Barred Rock rooster.
'Red House' currently has a approximately 20 mixed male and female Barred Rock crosses, as well as 3 Silkie hens (one of which is broody).
*I would like to move the hens from 'Red House' over to 'Cedar House' since they should be laying anytime now, and 'Cedar House' is set up with better laying boxes, etc. This will leave my 3 female Silkies alone with all the young (app. 3 mos old) roosters.
Any thoughts? A side note; one of these young roosters killed my Silkie rooster for top pecking order just this week.
(I hope this isn't too confusing:/)
