How much head room for a cockeral?

[Jessie_Jazz]

I have 2 new chickens that I want to introduce to my existing flock of 3 soon. I am almost certain that one of them is a cockeral. As it is I am in two minds about whether or not I will keep him. If I do; how much head room does he need in the run?

My run is only 3 ft tall which seems fine for my girlies. Does a boy need any extra head room, or any other considerations?

I still haven't decided what do do with him, I know it would be more economical to eat him (I am a veggie but my husband eats meat) but I don't know if I would be able to.... help me make the right choice!

That should be fine, unless he is one of the few unusually-giant-tall breeds

Good luck, have fun,

He is a wyandotte, hopefully gold laced. As long as he is friendly and 3ft is enough room for him I think I will keep him. I would LOVE to hatch out some eggs. Not that I am getting ahead of myself......
