Roosters

[belleannah]

So I'm planning on ordering 12 silkies. Since these chicks can't be sexed, many of them will be male. Is it okay to keep all the males together or will they fight? Should I get rid of most of the males when they get older?

its kinda iffy if the males are raised together they may do fine but i dont know most of mine do fine but you never know what could happen

My roos are great together--just don't separate them or re-introducing them can become tricky!

I think you'll be okay as long as they are raised together and not separated. If you get any that are over aggressive in the future, you can just pull them out later. Once they are older, there may not be enough hens to go around, that may be an issue too.
