THREE roos, ONE pullet :(

[frontyard chickens]

This is our first time having chicks so we thought we’d just get 4 to start (I know, I know haha). Long story short we are obviously attached to all of them and are wondering if this arrangement is even possible.
Info: They are almost 5 weeks old, all different breeds, and I’ve spent hours with them everyday because I want them to get used to being loved on. Only 1 of the boys likes to be handled.

What do y’all think? 3 boys and 1 girl, is it possible??

Probably not a good idea. Especially if you have one hen. Sometimes only roosters can live together but not with a pullet

Noooo don't do it! Bad juju! Danger Will Robinson! You're going to need more girls just for one doodle.

You should probably post pictures of each chick. Every chicken has a different personalty. Some of the chickens I own are more friendly than others. That doesn't mean that 3 are roosters and only one is a pullet.

Yeah like they’d be fighting over who gets to protect her?

Ok we will figure this out

I understand it’s not 100% but I’m trying to plan for the future so I’m assuming the worst.

if 3 are cockerels, it’s not going to work, you’d need at least 6 for a lone cockerel. imo if you have multiple cockerels, you should aim for 12+ hens each. three cockerels together might work, but not with females involved.
you could post some pictures of your chicks so we can help you sex them

No you need more girls.Maybe get rid of two and keep one or build a pen for two if the roosters and get five or six for just the one.

In my limited experience, I would say 5 weeks is much too early to make this decision.
