Thinking of getting another rooster

@ElleCeci maybe this is or is not off topic (it also may be unwelcome advice) but I have found that my greatest stress relief came when I began letting my daughter solve her own messes.
I certainly understand wanting to help her and her flock out but you may be stressing your own flock (& yourself) by doing so. It isn't easy to add any chicken, much less a rooster to an existing flock.
Perhaps she could seperate the 3 cockrels into an area seperate from her hens?
Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best.
:lol: I thought of that too! Maybe I should just stay out of it. I get pulled in because I like to see happy, healthy animals. I enjoy learning and helping, that too! I have given this a lot of thought and will continue and the solution hopefully will present itself. Thank you!
 
Given the situation you describe, I would not take in another rooster. But if you want to try it--just be ready to change things if it doesn't work. Either two coops or re-rehoming the new one would work.

To help your daughter, I would either try to find a different home for some of her roosters (not your home), or offer to help butcher them. But that's me, who likes to eat chicken. I recognize it might not be right for you :)
