And Limey is on the main roost...with the hens...but the other four boys are on the A-frame.

That's Limey who's putting up with pecking, but he finally jumped down.

He's the one that took a pecking and tried right? Now he's up there with the hens...

Go Martha Go!!!

Go Martha Go!!!

Noooo! I want her eggs.

Yep. I don't know if that's an indication of intelligence or just plain old stubbornness.

Broodiness is not only contagious it can become epidemic!

So, my friends, how would you choose which cockerels to keep, which to go?

They are 8 weeks old, the adult feathers aren't in, the personality is not set due to raging hormones, but I cannot keep them any longer. My coop is on the verge of chaos and I have no place to house them.

Have you had a similar situation? What did you do? How did it turn out?

Just go on your instinct, and don't look back. These things need to be done, not the best part of chicken keeping but definitely a part.

I'm thinking of just keeping LC. I know he's a fighter, he overcame two head injuries as a two-three day old chick. And he knows how to avoid mad hens!

I vote for LC!

And, in keeping with my Biblical trend, LC gets a new name...Zacchaeus. He can be Zack or Zacky for short.

Who was Zacchaeus?
