Roosters who were living peacefully, randomly started fighting.

Not worth effort

Funny. I thought the same about you. Take your attitude elsewhere.

I think that's something I'm going to do. I'm going to make a separate living space for the game rooster and put some hens in with him. And hopefully when I let them free range they'll stay out of each others way.

Good plan!

C'mon everybody! Play Nice! It's easy to miss details in long posts and just as easy to take cold text in ways not intended. Everybody's here for the good of our birds!
Moving onward ...

Yes thank you. All I wanted was friendly, helpful advice. I don't understand why some people feel the need to be smart about it. It's as simple as be respectful or don't even bother commenting at all. I wouldn't have posted in here if I didn't need helpful advice for the good my roosters. But I don't appreciate being disrespected when I'm asking for help. I surely wouldn't do that to someone who posted needing help. There are better ways to approach people and offer your advice without attitude, as the other helpful people did here.

Understood! If you want to start a ruckus here, the best way to do it is to ask about problem roos! There are quite a lot of us here who either keep bachelor flocks (like mine) or who really study and advocate for The Boys - and we have some people here who REALLY know roosters. There's really no malice involved, just people who are frustrated with those who don't take the time to understand why a rooster is behaving the way they do before doing anything drastic ... like make chicken and dumplings!

Now don't get me wrong; I'm a big advocate of chicken and dumplings. My Mom makes some of the bet on the planet! But with that as a back-up plan, most of the time rooster issues can be resolved with some simple routine or facility tweaking. It's pretty satisfying to know that you've worked out a life-or-death issue - and get to keep your favorite roosters, to boot!

Yes I'm no expert at all and I have a lot to learn which is why I find this site so helpful. Chicken and dumplings are great! I'm glad I've found a solution that still lets me keep the two of them. My 4 year old son has names for them so he would not be too pleased if he found out we were having Andy for supper!

Andy and Dumplings? No, that probably wouldn't go over very well at your house!
It took us a long time to get over Trixie Burgers, Jerry Steaks and Rutabaga Stew (with no rutabagas in it at all!) I must say, though, that Jerry was almost as good on the inside as he was sweet on the inside ... and that's what finally convinced my kids that to was okay to eat retired dairy cow and beef that they had scratched behind the ears (a friend's 4H project.) I have to admit that I do miss Jerry - both in AND out of the freezer!

It does take a bit to convince the kids I'm sure! That's awesome. I must say they all sound delicious!

Oops - I meant sweet on the OUTSIDE! Jerry was the biggest "puppy" I've ever come across. What a sweet-natured steer!
