Getting Rid of Roosters

[roostercluck]

I have a 5 nine week old silver-laced wyandotte roosters and I am only keeping one. When is the best time to get rid of the rest?

 

[hokankai]

As soon as you get tired of them.

Thanks, but will it disrupt the pecking order.

 

[hokankai]

Yes, but it will regardless of when you do it. The younger the better, because they'll do less damage to one another during the shuffle when they're smaller.

If you plan to breed keep 2. If you only keep 1 he'll probably die. Yet another correlate of Murphy's Law.

I sure agree with this one! It's speckledhen's law, too, LOL.
