I'm wanting to separate my cockerels (until the pullets are laying) but I've read they can't see them. Is this true? I have a chicken tractor I could use temporarily.I don't want them to fight.Thank you for your experience. I am building 2 mini chickshaws which hold 12-16 and and going to put them both in a 164' electric poultry net and divide them into 2 flocks of 10 each not including rooster(I have barred rock and rir) and want to breed them separately. I wasn't sure how to split the electric fence area in 2 so I thought I might just make a chicken wire circle within the full space. But for right now I am making a chicken tractor for the 2 boys until I get it all sorted out. I am not against culling the 2 boys if it doesn't work out. Their current housing is only big enough for 7 full grown which is why I am making a tractor big enough for 4 that I can put 2 boys in. I'm using the measurement of 15 square ft per bird 12" each on the roost. Thank you again for your advice
