You should see what happens when someone asks "can I use some pumpkin seeds, acv, and garlic to worm my chickens?"Gosh, I did NOT realize what a hot button (and totally common) issue this is! Holy moly.
I'd still get a few more girls tbh. Separation might work temporarily, but it won't keep you'd chickens safe forever, and the drake won't like isolation.I talked with DH about it a bit, and he seems committed to keeping our order and the WH breed, and says we will just have to figure it out. Ha. So I will make sure he understands that means separate housing for the drake once the hens go broody. I'm thinking that might mean he needs his own house / pen with a pool I can fill, since I think that would be easier, (isolating one bird vs. 3), and makes more sense to leave the hens in the main house so the girls can continue to range / keep the pond access. Yes?
