I have too many ROOSTERS

[Colton]

Right now I have 9 roosters in too coops. I only have 23 chickens in all. I am thinking of making a horse stall into a coop for my roosters. Would that be all right?

I have only 10 adult chickens, and 3 of them are roosters...so I feel ya...We are going to eat one probably this sunday...then we will be down to 2...and that is what it will be like until some of these chicks are laying, and then I think the rooster issue will be mostly fixed...As it looks like so far only one rooster in the bunch of chicks. We have 17 and 11 of them are straight run, or I thought they were...But so far only one Buff Orpington has started to show his roosteriness, it's still early though, so who knows...
Why keep so many? But you could totally just build them a coop of nothing but roosters...Then again they will fight and what not if they can still see or hear hens around..so I'm not sure it would work. Roosters will get along with no hens around at all...it is the competition for the hens that drives them to dislike one another. But a bunch of boys can be totally happy with no girls around...Think back to middle school...Lol. One girl in the group ruined the whole bunch. I was always that one girl building tree houses and playing in the mud..messing up the boy parties...Anyway you can try to make them their own bachelor pen, and if that doesn't work then perhaps list them for sale, or free or eat them.

I was thinking about

ya know, butcher and eat. They are all big enough. I was just thinking about getting a new coop because I have different breeds and might want some purebreds. I will probably keep the favorites. The hens won't be near them. I am starting to sell eggs so I don't want too many roosters around the hens because it stresses them and they don't lay as much. I am also hatching chicks and could use the coop for the young ones until they get big enough. I'll figure it out...
