Rooster or pullets better pictures

Couple thoughts, prior performance in roosters, much like investments, is no guarantee of future performance. Many will tell you it’s mostly genetics. I think conditioning has a lot to do with it.

Im sure what’s risky or unfair about it. If you could find them homes with a flock of hens who’d appreciate them that’d be ideal. That said, seems like there are a lot worse alternatives than a bachelor pad if you’re willing to tend and care for them for little return other than their company.

Ok thanks. Yes I have no
Problem keeping them as just pets. I enjoy them. I am building a 20x20 run and I had asked if I rotate hens one day in the large run and roosters the next but they have their own coops with smaller attached runs and that's when people informed me that it wasnt a good life . I don't want that and honestly can't think of having them killed. Right now they all get along and like I said only 1 definitely crows maybe one other does a little.

Ok that's what I had read about. Thanks for confirming. I do have a favorite. We bonded when he was a baby lol. So probably keeping him. I was going to keep a bachelor pad but someone let me know the other day that is risky and not fair to them. So now I'm trying to find them homes

I have one thought about this.
I have read many, many threads from many different people here on the forum, and there seems to be a very common theme with the 'aggressive rooster threads'
So many of those roosters that are now terrorizing their owners, were the most friendly as chicks. They seem to be the chicks which love cuddling with their owners, the chicks which the humans have the best bond with.
And sadly, as those male chicks get older, their familiarly with people turns into aggression.
Now, I am not saying that that is going to be the case with yours, but it is definitely something to keep in mind.
Maybe keep one of the others, which is a bit more wary of you, as a back up, until you are sure of your favorites temperament? (which in many cases wont be until he is 8 months plus)

None of mine cuddle with me. Even my babies don't. I don't know what I do wrong lol. They come up and talk to me in their run when I'm on the outside and look at me with one eye lol. They know I give them treats but open their cage and they run like I'm Godzilla. Straight into their coop.
