Escaping cockerel..

I'll separate if blood is ever drawn and since they don't currently fight, there's no reason to separate.

keeping these two for breeding purposes.

Then it might be wise to have two separate coops and runs.

Don't care. They're my birds.
I'm keeping them in the same run.

You asked for help and advice, and that’s exactly what you got.

Since they are YOUR birds you should also make sure that you do everything you can to properly care for them.

I do care for them properly

I’m not saying that you don’t. But you did just state that you didn’t care if we thought having a separate run would be best.

Yeah, I don't care.
We don't even have enough room for another separate run anyway so I'm happy to keep them together in the same run.

Perhaps we should stick to the main subject, keeping your rooster from escaping. I personally built a double door at the entrance of my coop so any chickens trying to escape would just end up in the space between the 2 doors. (around 3 feet.) I never had a chicken escape that way.

Good idea! I'll pass this along to my dad

Have you tried just barely opening the gate so that there is only room for you and you only to get out and if they try to get out they’ll just run into your legs.
