I keep reading about hen to rooster ratio, but if there are no hens involved, can several roos live together without fighting? I do not mean game cocks.
I am really new to all this, and am learning as I go...
I have a Duccle bantam "Slash", 6 months old living with 3 POL RIR hens (Slash's girls). I also have two 7 week old cockrells residing with 23 seven week old EE, unknown red variety, and White Leghorn pullets. The youngsters are seperated from the big girls as I am integrating them now.
I am looking to get a Jersey Giant roo.. (bantam and Jersey Giant... talk about integration!!!) I also have a Bachelor pad coop in the works that will keep the extra/pet boys seperated. Will this work? I have a neighbor who has three roosters as pets living happily in his yard, but there are no hens involved.
I really like the look of different roos, and have gotten attached to the two little guys, a black and white EE, who was my runt, and is VERY shy and docile, and a black and red EE who has a bit of an attitude.
What do you think? Can several roosters live together without hens?
