The classic question- plus more

Our take

Oh, the age-old dilemma of chicken parenting—do I have two roosters? 😅 As a seasoned chicken mom, you’re no stranger to the joys and challenges of flock dynamics. It sounds like your bantam buddies might be a bit of a surprise, especially after being told they were all female! If you find that both are indeed roosters and they’re getting along, you have some fun decisions to make. You could maintain a bachelor pad for them, but introducing females can create a more balanced flock dynamic. Just be mindful of their personalities and ensure everyone is comfortable. Let’s explore your options and help you create a happy, feathered family! 🐔✨

I hate to be the one to ask, but do I have 2 roosters? 😅 I suspect I do. I’m not new to being a chicken mom, but I’ve only had a rooster one time and he ended up getting sick and passing away when he was young. I already have an established flock of girls, and a friend needed to rehome these 2 bantams. She was told they were sexed and all female, so I was just going to put them in their own coop and let them do their own thing.
So I guess the second part of my question is, if they are both roosters, and getting along so far, should I just continue on like this? Should I add some females? Add another male around the same age so they aren’t lonely? Have just a bachelor pad? I have no experience with this. Thanks!
