Lots of Roosters

[Barb Root Hinkkanen]

Hello, fellow chicken lovers.
I have too many roosters. I don’t want any of them to go into a stew pot.

Having clarified that, can I house them together until I can find them a home? Will they fight if it’s all boys? They are all pure breeds, two Swedish Isbar, one lavender Ameracauna, and one Whiting True Blue. They are about five months old, and there is no discord at the moment.

I have a big coop that is out of sight of all the others and I can keep looking for a suitable domicile for them. Thank you!

It may work if they have enough space. I'd give it a try.

It could very well work, ...or kind of work for some of them, ... or work for a while, and then not work.

IT is a good idea to separate them from the flock, and away from the girls will help. But they don't call it cock fighting for nothing. That often times is just what roosters do.

Do have a plan B or C set up. Do have a way to separate them, such as a long handled fish net, or leather gloves, and a crate to put one in if needed. Have it at hand, ready to go.

Good luck
