I have Silkies for my two main Roos but we have some aggressive fighter breeds mixed in our brood, so all the young male take over and run my guys out

[YvonneCrzyChckn]

Hi, I have raised chickens going on 4yrs, our Roos are two Silkies, but we have aggressive "fighter" breeds mixed into our brood, so the young males run our Roos out of the yard. We send the aggressive one's to the farm, but this new guy is In Love with my Giant Jersey Miga's and I don't want to separate em. Sending Miga to the farm is Not an option, what can I do to keep him, but knock him down a notch or two. I like my two main Roos to keep their positions. Help please!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You'll have to create a second coop and run setup to keep them in.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.

Welcome! Agreed, if you won't get rid of one, separation is your only other option. You unfortunately can't force roosters to get along, some won't tolerate other males no matter what you do and the game blood in them is doing you no favors in that department

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

If this is a constant issue, you'll need to make changes, such as separation or removal. Good luck!

Hello and Welcome to BYC. Glad to have you here in this fun and poultry community. Separation in another coop and run is the only way. Wish there was a better answer. At least a coop for the small silkie roosters and then let the roosters have alternate days to get out and run with the girls.

Hello, you could separate the boys and create a 2nd flock. Everyone should be calmer and happier with that arrangement.
