I have 4 (I think) Roosters! I have 3 chicken coops but I only have 2 chickens in the hen coop so I don't know If that's enough. I have 11 hens in another coop and 5 in another. All 3 'cockerels' (8 weeks) Are in the red/silkie coop (the coop with 5 hens) The cockerels were even supposed to be pullets!!! I know for certain the asian black is a cockerel but not so certain for the silkie and buff orpington, I have seen orpingtons grow big combs like this and turn out hen so I'm hoping this is the case. , my question is will I have enough roosters overall? I'm planning on combining the sikies and reds with the orpingtons and put the silkie cockerel and Buff cockerel with them, or get rid of the asian black. I have a mature rooster who is fine with others as I have already introduced him to them (He is only 4 months and he is still cockerel) I wanted the silkie to be a rooster so I could breed him with my silkies but I didn't want 3 roosters!!! . (I love roosters and I only intended on having a silkie roo and my BYM rooster.)
