Hello,

I am posting on behalf of my parents here, as we have currently come across an issue while raising the newest members of our flock. We already have a previously existing rooster, a Chinese Cochin roo. He is so sweet and we all love him dearly. But now we have discovered that the recent additions have a rooster among them. One of the chicks, a Japanese bantam, has grown up into a rooster along with three Silkie hens. We aren't too worried about integrating then hens into the existing coop, but unsure what to do with our now Japanese bantam rooster. Any advice on what we can do would be amazing! We do not want to give up any of them, they are all apart of our family and we love them so much. Any advice on how to manage this issue would be great, thank you in advance!
 
Do one of two things:
1( Coop the Japanese Banyan separate from the Cochin. Then if the Japanese bantam has hens of his own, put them in with him.
2( Give lots of different feeding and drinking areas with a guideline of 2 waterers per four chickens.
I recommend 1. Do what works for you .:welcome
