To many roosters, bachelor pen.

It might, you can try and see. You might get lucky.

Do have a plan B, a way to separate them if it doesn't. A fishnet on a five foot handle can help in an all out fight. Some people use a hose squirt of water to break them up. It can be wild and violent.

Try and keep an open mind to different solutions, as time progresses, it might become evident that this plan will not work. Until them enjoy them...but have a plan B.

Yes, I will try I hope that bantam rooster are nicer, I guess my plan B depends on the situation, if all rosters will gang up on one, I will have to find home for that one, maybe a sanctuary, but if one will try to kill the others, I will treat him the way I would treat aggressive, out of control dog, If I can't find a home for him, I would have to put him to sleep. I will not let anybody eat my pets, that's for sure! Just like I wouldn't let anyone kill and eat my dog, even if it turns out aggressive...

This is my current set up, The coop is not very big, I had 9 standard chickens before and the coop was set up for them. So what you see is a coop with a enclosure with tarp on it, where I put food, water and such, and the long run goes to the end of the fence. What we want to do is build similar set up across back fence, at 90dergee angle to the existing one and build the second enclosure at the other end so they would be very far apart. That small house inside the enclosure is for couple of my seramas.

By a plan B, I mean a way to get the birds apart if they are fighting violently, and a place to put them in order to stop the fighting. A way to handle them if they are attacking you.

Nice long set up , but it would be better for some hide outs, places where a bird can get out of sight of other birds. Also does not look to be predator proof to me, my predators would not even slow down. However, you might have different predators or none at all.

I guess dog crate if I need to separate one or two, I got two dog crates. Yes, you are right, the enclosure is predator proof, I have fence under and all around the enclosure in the ground, but the run is not, the back side of it has fence in the ground and on top just nylon netting. I want to get electric fence, just don't know who to go about it.

Mrs K

Also, what would you suggest as hide outs? more branches? or some dog houses?
