Question about roos...

[eminator]

Hi-

Guess I have a stupid question about roos. If two cockerels are raised together and are bonded (no other chicks in the hatch), etc., will they be able to live together in the same flock as full-grown roosters? Or will they try to kill each other?

Thanks in advance.

If they're not a game breed they should tolerate each other.

They'll be fine. One will be top roo, but the other will allow it.

Sometimes, not always. My BR rooster, Dutch, would not tolerate his younger brother sharing his 30 girls. I rehomed poor beat up Mace so they both could have some peace.

I agree with Speckled. Sometimes, but not always.

Thanks for the responses! I'll give it a try.
