I presently have 13 hens (regular size) and 2 bantam roosters. The 2 roos get along as long as they stay apart. I have a big enough place that they can. They were chic mates but in the chicken/roo world that doesn't mean anything. Next weekend I will be adding 3 more hens, and then in 2.5 months I'll be adding 6 more chickens. Of the last 6, at least 1 is a roo. (I got them at 1-2 weeks old, and all were supposed to be pullets.). They are now 9-10 weeks. I've recently been hearing one of them trying to make rooster crowing noises - pitful sounds). I didn't want any more roos, but since I've been feeding them for 10 weeks now, I was wondering if I can keep this Lavender Orpington soon to be roo, along with my bantam roos. Roos, being roos, I'm worried the bigger one will kill my bantams. Should I just get rid of the lavender roo or would it be ok to keep him and they will work out their differences? Any advice would help. Thanks
