If five of my seven chicks are cockerels as I suspect I'm glad at least that they are dual purpose birds and can be used for the table!
With this in mind, I read on another chook forum that to stop cockerels from fighting whilst they are being fattened for the pot, it's best to keep them in a cock pen.
If they are brought up together and their are no hens to fight over it's supposed to work well.
With this in mind I intend to keep the cockerels seperate with there own coop (no nest box requirement) and cock pen.
Thats ANOTHER coop and ANOTHER run I'll need to build!
