I have a rather high ratio of boys to girls. I know I have 4 boys in my older birds (16 total) and am nearly certain that two of my three black silkies are boys.
I adore some of my boys a little too much to consider rehoming or eating them. They are also bantams - the two silkies and an OEG so there wouldn’t be much there to begin with. I also suspect that at least two of my five younger silkies are boys but they are only 4.5 weeks old.
I also have a Phoenix cockerel who is becoming a problem - aggressive with the girls and has been mildly aggressive with me. He will eventually be food but is significantly smaller than his brothers and I’d like to try to grow him out a bit before he’s culled - but spare the girls his attitude.
Has anyone done a chicken tractor bachelor pad? Is there anything special I need to consider?
Thanks in advance!
