I want to start getting into breeding. I plan on having a flock of 6 buff and 6 lavender orpingtons. I want to keep 4 roosters, 2 buffs and 2 lavenders. I’ll only use one breed of roo at a time because that insures I’ll have at least 6 pure breed chicks. I will switch them out between clutches. Can I keep the roosters in a small flock together or in pairs? I’ve had roosters get along but I’ve only done it in a flock with hens. Would the roos fight too much if I kept them in a run together with no hens? If not what kind of set up could I use to keep my unused roos?
