One of my frizzles just died and now i only have 2 roosters, one of them need a "woman" he would try with her but she was too sick, now he Just fights with the other rooster!
 
She may have died from having too much rooster business. One rooster can handle 10 hens, when there is only one hen, she gets overbred to the point of severe damage or death. This may have been what happened. And you have two roosters so it twice as bad.
 
No, she died from sour crop and she couldn't handle it but now he is alone with a silkie rooster

Here is a picture of all three of them but ignore the little one on the right that's the one that died
 
Sorry for your loss.

If you have 2 roosters, you really should have several hens. Even if the extra rooster doesn't get a chance to breed, he hassles the hens and scraps with the dominant roo, which creates stress for all of the birds.

If you intend to try to hatch eggs, you won't want to breed frizzle to frizzle. Some of the chicks from such a cross will get the frizzle gene from both parents; they are sometimes called "frazzles," because their feathers are very brittle and break easily, resulting in birds that are half bald most of the time.

If you are looking to get more birds, I think you'll have better luck in the Buy/Sell/Trade section.

I agree with the above posters. A rooster will mate one or two hens to death. So you need to get this rooster more girls. But I am sorry about the bird you lost. It is never easy to lose them

Great to have you aboard!
 
I have 9 chickens in all, but only 2 are bantams and they are roosters, I am thinking about giving one of the roosters to my freind she says she wants him, but I can't leave the other all alone
 
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your little frizzle hen, she was a pretty girl. If your seven standard birds are hens, can you put the rooster you want to keep in with them?
