Hello

Th
We only have one rooster (I would love another!!! But currently I don’t think we can supply for all of them), so I don’t have any advice for a bachelor flock. I personally would try to rehome extra roosters, because you typically want a ratio of 1 rooster to at least 10 hens. If I were you, I would rehome the mean roosters. I have no experience with culling, but if that is an option for you, it may be nice to consider it. However, it’s definitely important to get rid of some roosters in some way, or your hens will get over mated...
Thanks. I definitely want to rehome some. I want to keep the lavender Orpington because he’s a nice one. The others may be tricky as they are meaner to each other.

I said that the ratio is 1 rooster to 10 hens, but keep in mind that for bantams that would be different...I am not sure if you own bantams, but for bantams it would be around one rooster to six hens
