Need advice...too many roos!!!

I would make a rooster only flock, and choose one roo to be with the hens.

I am trying something like this this year! Have you done it successfully before? If so I would LOVE to hear any tips/experiences/etc you can share. I haven't been able to find anyone to talk to about keeping roos. Mine are only 6 week old cockerels now.

Hello,

You should start a rooster flock!
Really, no kidding!

Have a different coop.
Put all of them in it and when they are old enough,

Find out who is the nicest and keep them.
Then when you want to breed you can choose your rooster for a mix.

Could you possibly contact the place you got them from explain the situation and maybe make a trade out?

X2 with Chickassan.
If you make a rooster flock, what will you do with them when they are full grown? Keep them? butcher them?
If you plan on butchering them, there would be no reason to make a separate flock. by the time they would start being a problem, it would be time to butcher them..

the head on the one in the picture looks like a pullet to me. the other two can't tell.. but the tail that shows looks like pullet to me also.

I wouldn't panic , just yet..

I have not done it before, but a LOT of my friends have done it successfully, you should try it! I am sorry, I don't have many tips to give you though!
