Welcome to BYC Having too many cockerels can be stressful, but if you raise them together, you may be able to have a rooster flock (bachelor pad). Or if you're wanting to be more self sufficient, you can harvest them once they are full grown. Either way, I hope you have fun raising your new babies!

Hiya Julie, and welcome to BYC!

Here's an article with lots of ideas for rehoming roosters. Facebook poultry groups is where I've had the best luck though.

Thank you. I'll look this over.

Thank you. I'll be posting a separate thread seeking some guidance on dealing with the fighting! It seems pretty brutal!
