early signs of being a roo?

i understand what you mean- how long can you keep two roosters together? i know that at a certain point they will fight but i’m not sure when

You can keep them both separately from any hens and you shouldn't have any problems. What other birds do you have?

if you only have these two, you can keep them together. Apart from a bit of possible hormonal dominance ruckus when they are teens, roosters can live happily together so long as they are not competing for females.

Male's that grow up together usually are less aggressive to each other than ones that are introduced later. Especially with no gals around

i have three older girls who are 4/5 months now? i think. they are pretty big though, and sorry! i didn’t even see this.

ooooh okay! so should i make a separate spot for them? honestly i would feel really, really bad if i separated them. they seem to love each other so much ): i took this pic of them today when i let them play in the grass

ok that is SUPER CUTE, and at that age, chicks will somewhat start pecking order and I just saw your update on them right now and they look like cockerels to me. I had 2 roosters and they cuddled a night but once they got older they wouldn't stop fighting so I had to give one away but you never know so yours might not fight but its a 50/50.
edit: I've never seen such a cute picture of chicks i LOVE IT

If it's possible, make a separate space where they can't see the girls.
Then you should be fine.
Keep me updated.

(my second time writing this because i messed up the first time haha) i absolutely love them! very sweet lil babies. they get cuddles almost every night & they are nearly 5 weeks now. if i end up having to rehome one then i’ll 100% get the other some silkie friends, i’ve grown quite fond of the breed honestly

Is it normal for chicks to develop different comb shapes for a mix breed? One has a single comb and the other has a pea comb.
