I have a problem - quarantine failure and more!

[WoodlandWoman]

If they're all free ranging together, the roos should provide alarms and some protection for everyone, regardless of who they roost with. I'd be inclined to just let them sort it out themselves. As the roos mature and everyone is used to each other, they may make different choices among themselves later.

I'm not at all interested in breeding them. If they do, assuming one of these tiny roos could stay on my huge brahmas long enough, it's nature and I'm not going to interfere, but I won't be hatching from them.
These roos needed a good home, they got one. I adore roosters. The only thing I'm asking of them is to provide some protection for my girls in the form of predator alarms.

I just adore it when two chickens "click".

First time Annie has ever roosted, next to her love. She usually gets on top of a nestbox in the corner, as far as she can get away from the other birds.

I think it was an omen that the roosters escaped quarantine. Look at how happy events made Annie. I love a good love story - awww.

Gotta love it. Hope all is well. Be prepared ahead of time with appropriate meds if not.

A whole new world is opening up for Annie.

The transformation in Annie has been remarkable. Honestly, I had considered putting her down or re-homing her because she was always in a state of panic and that made me feel really bad for her. She's still a little weird but much, much calmer.

Both roos went to the coops that I had "assigned" them to tonight - Warf the cochin in with Annie and the younger birds, Colonel the phoenix with the brahma hens.


Smart little roosters I have.
