Roosters Attacking Hens and Me! What should I Do?

[Barn Yarn Chicken]

Hi y’all! So I am having a bit of a problem. When I purchased my first chicks they were all supposed to be pullets. Well I Now have 2 roosters. So one of the roosters is very gentle to people, but if he sees a hen he will attack her (not trying to breed). Then the other is very aggressive to people and will sometimes go after the hens. I was wanting to slaughter, but right now I am not able. What should I do with them?

Any tips will be appreciated! Thanks!

Give them away people like roosters sometimes let me put you in touch with someone who might be able to take them

Make emergency containment cages!
A 2'x4'x2' cage for each rooster should do for a while. Yes that is small but you can get a base, 2 long sides and 2 ends out of one sheet of plywood. I would make the lids or one side out of 2x2's and wire.
Making a split lid gives you access without escape options for the cockerel.

The cages would have future use as broody cages, brooders, or hospital crates.
I seriously have 2 that I made to transport birds for processing. I have used them for hospital crate and for brooding chicks.

Cool! Keep them there until you decide what to do with them.

There is never a good reason to keep a mean rooster.
