How long before there's trouble? 6-week-old Cockerels...

[quiltnchik]

It seems the majority (at least 4) of the 6 chicks I bought at TSC back in May are cockerels, which means I have 1-2 that are pullets plus the 2 NHR pullets with them. They are about 5-6 weeks old now, and I'm just wondering how long it will be before I absolutely HAVE to find them homes in order to keep them from fighting.

Thanks!

Should be OK till they begin to crow.

I have a 13 week and 3 7-weekers and they don't fight at all.

We could, but probably won't. DH wouldn't have a problem with it, but the memory of those cute little fuzzballs that I got from TSC would probably stop me dead in my tracks...
