I currently have 13 chickens. 7 are cockerels. I hope to keep 2 of them. How quickly do I need to rehome the others? None of my chickens are older than 12 weeks.
I do not have a separate coop and run to put rather cockerels in at the moment. If I work on adding another space for them, would they all be okay together until Spring or are they going to annihilate the few pullets I do have? Sorry if this seems naive but I just entered the chicken keeping world and have so much to learn.
There are several different breeds because I’m trying to decide what breeds are for me. I have no plans to ever hatch any of my own eggs. That being said, I probably don’t even need a rooster. However, the two I’d like to keep are simply because I’m really enjoying watching them grow out and one of them is a total sweetheart.
