yes i love them! one of the cochins is a rooster and we think a silkie and the frizzle are too! we don't really want 3 roosters but we love the new silkie and frizzle so much! any advice on how to keep all 3?
There are two possible ways for you to keep all of the roosters:

1) Get more hens. If each rooster has at least 8 hens to himself, they will be less likely to fight and the hens won't get overmated.

2) Separate your roosters from your hens. If you have another small coop/area, you can keep your roosters there. Roosters, especially if they are raised together, can live in "bachelor groups" just fine. If they have access to hens, though, they will fight.
