Question Putting roosters together?

[WaupoosCowgirl]

I have a pen just for the boys and they all seem to coexist fine.

I had 2 hatch siblings together for less than a week.
Came home to find a massive hole in the back of one roo, & both covered in blood.
I would clean it, & dinfect it daily & it finally healed.
This poor 6 month old roo became a mean SOB.
He did not want to be touched.

I didn't have enough room to keep both roos.
A friend wanted to take "Meanie" & it has worked out.
She doesn't touch him & he has become tolerant of her presence.
I won't be trying that again ~ good luck

I have all my roosters and hens together and I probably have about 25 or so of them. now mine are all free range they pick there friends and wich girls are theres and certain ones hang together and wich area they hang out in only once in awhile theres a little tussle and one will dominate and then its over. I have every breed little silkies and showgirls to big jubilees and lafleche and no problem.

I find the amount of extra room ( most folks have to little ) the birds have & hiding places , lots a perches available . Ex . Xmas trees in pen , some bushes , low benches etc . helps greatly .
But chickens are all individual not robots & have to work thinks out . That's why commercial growers trim top beak . Luck PS if all else fails ...

I ended up getting rid of my EE boy... I think my coop would have been to small for the pair of them so I never tried them together I didn't want to deal with drama...
I also have to have surgury in Feb so I needed to cut down anyways! :)
