Thank you. I appreciate the advice. The only problem I have with separating them is the materials to do it with. I've got the space in the pen for them. Don't have a second coop tho so I'm not sure what to do about that to make them a separate area to keep them. .
I'd find any way possible - dog crates, cheap kennel run on craigslist, garden fencing, etc. Ten hormonal cockerels and only 9 females is going to get bad and fast. Or find a local poultry processor.
My mom bought them. Most were runs. The one pullet she bought turned out to be a rooster too, but we're keeping silkie Harry(no longer Harriet lol). He tends to get chased the most out of the young roosters. . . My parents kept swearing up and down a few months back there would be no more roosters (the one Rhode Island we had I got rid of before he started becoming more aggressive then I would put up with, having a 4 yr old around).
