You can make a big pen and let all the males live together, apart from the females. That keeps them from pestering the females. Sometimes the males will all get along well enough, and sometimes they fight enough to cause injury and need to be separated. If they grow up together, and you have that many of them, I think it increases the chances of them getting along fairly well.That's a lot of roos! My chickens are my pets so what should I do with the roos. I would like them to have a happy home.
Many people recommend one rooster for 10 hens. That is about right for a big commercial breeding flock, where they want the fewest possible roosters while still having all the eggs be fertile (which is where that ratio originated.)What should the ratio of hens to roos be?
