Hi,
I basically hatched 5 eggs in November last year and weirdly enough they were all boys. One started fighting another at a young age so I split them into 2 groups. The two groups are great with one another without hens, with only slight squabbling you’d probably see between hens anyway.
Anyway, I have recently had to move house and I took them in the car with me; they were split into 2 carriers and were perfectly fine the whole way. They were even fine when I let each group separately run around the garden.
The next day my mum let them out early for me, however 2 roosters in the group of 3 started fighting when they ran out (they have never fought before) and I honestly don’t know what set them off. So, one rooster gets along with the other two, but those two hate each other.
It’s such a shame because they seemed so happy.
It’s been about 2 days now and I’ve separated one at a time and put them in different cages at a time. Is there any possible way I could reintroduce them back together? I would love to get hens for them so they had something else to think about but I just don’t have the space and I’m not sure if it would work. I can’t bear letting any go.
Thanks for any help.
