Crowing
I’m thinking about starting a rooster flock. I have 28 chickens, and 7 or 8 of them are boys. Only one of the boys is fully grown, the rest are either 7 weeks or 13 weeks. So far everyone is getting along, though some of the older boys are starting to have short sparring matches. We want to only keep a couple in with the main flock, but I don’t think I have the heart to get rid of the rest. Everyone is currently free ranging, but we have a spare coop and I’m thinking I could fence that in and not let the bachelors free range. What do y’all think? Could it work if the hens are free ranging around them? Is there anything else I should consider with this?
