I've searched the posts for "multiple roosters" and read most. I realize I can't have 3 roosters and 5 hens. They are 24 weeks old and have been together since birth. I know I need to remove one or two roosters. Which ones go? The most dominant or not? Seems like they've spent all these weeks figuring out the pecking order and he won. But now #1 is too aggressive and won't let #2 Roo come out of the coop. My husband got #1 and he spent the night in a dog crate inside the pen so safe from predators. But I've got to decide today who stays with the girls and who goes. Remove #1 and #2 and put them in a bachelor pad and hope they tolerate each other? We've dedicated to day to building another pen/coop for whomever goes. Thanks in advance. I know there's no answer that works for all flocks! And I'd be happy with hatching eggs from any of these 3 boys so that is not part of the equation.
