rogue rooster trying to kill me.

Who doesn't have chickens that chimed in about keeping roosters together?

Look around. You’ll find them. Lol

Yup, I can think of one in particular that chimes in on almost every thread and has never owned any sort of poultry. Had a dog 30 years ago though...

I thought for a minute you thought I didn't...lol

I only have a few but I used to have something like 1200 - 2000 back in the early 2000's. So I'm relearning some stuff I'd forgotten but I'm not as clueless as I was when I started back when I was 13. lol

I imagine this whole thread is moot as the OP is probably not taking anyone's advice to heart or even still reading the thread...

I suspect you are right.

Lol. No not you. Sorry about that.

I still fail to see the point of keeping a bachelor flock at all. I understand keeping a back up breeder or two but it seems to me these “bachelor flocks” are the product of people unwilling to kill a rooster. Otherwise why not keep them with a few hens? Breed aggressiveness rarely makes a difference however the roosters natural dominance sure will. This is why some people have no problems keeping 1 rooster with 1 hen while the hens feathers remain perfect which is a product of selective breeding.

Everyone keeps a bachelor flock for their own reasons. I keep one simply because I love roosters. I find them to be much more friendly than a lot of my hens!

Mine is like a puppy with feathers.

Many of mine are like this as well, not all, but quite a few.

My favorites are always my boys when it comes to personality!

I love roosters too. Have you ever tried giving the roosters a few of their own hens instead of keeping them with other males? They might appreciate it a little more.
I do realize this means more pens though and that’s not always an option.
