Can two roosters live together without fighting?

Nope, too much cock!

Split them into 2 flocks

We just separate ours. Sometimes they get on, sometimes now!

*not

That could work. I plan to build another coop, so I could factor that in. My adult flock had a rooster, but something got him last year, so I'm trying to replace him.

let them all grow up and either crow or lay an egg.

it's very easy to get a free rooster from people who have too many

best to only have one rooster at a time.

They will do fine.

The little rooster will be raised with the big one.

That will work.

You cannot introduce an adult rooster into another roosters flock.

That won’t work.

They will try to kill each other and may succeed.

It all depends on the breed.

I have had an Americauna rooster kill another new rooster the first day.

Generally one rooster per nine hens.

It happens but not often.

Usually though they only fight for a few days then pecking order is established

------- blank a doodle do

Excess rooster = soup.

I agree with this, just from when I was a little girl and daddy had a small farm with chickens, etc.. There were three roosters. They had a pecking order and one rooster was dominant. Those damn things crowed all day long.

A friend of mine had four roosters for about 20 hens, which was too much. They got along fine, but the roosters "breed" the hens too much, and that hurts egg production. He couldn't figure out why the hens were going bald, it was the roosters having their way too many times pulling out their feathers.

That's why we ended up separating the last rooster we had. He was too rough with the hens, and I believe he killed one. But the pen we moved him to was apparently not secure enough.

you cant split them, you just have to make sure there are enough chickens to keep them both happy.

some will choose one over the other.

they need to fight a bit.

worst thing is creating two coops.

constant battling to the death if you do that.

as long as there are enough hens for both

Yes

if he is too rough with hens means there is not enough hens.

Yes. If they are gay.

No! 2 cocks always end up sword fighting! Fact!

Even one rooster can not live with anything without fighting. Try giving him a red gas can to beat up on / play with / occupy and distract him. More fun put it on a bungy cord and watch him go at it. If all else fails, a beer usually mellows them out.

I have 60 birds with 8 roosters... mine free range part of the day. They fight alittle but are fine otherwise.

Nope. Thats why people love to take bets on it!

A lot of responses were right here... I like the idea of two flocks myself, but the only way that would work is complete segregation. One thing for sure since it was the question you asked you better know they will definitely fight and to the death if they get the chance.

I got 20 on the brown one!

Wow, Do tell more. Do the roosters attack anything that comes near you, a bucket, bag of groceries, even your chain saw and wheel barrow?

It depends on the rooster and helps if they've been raised together or is the son of the other rooster raised in the same pen.

Some roosters are just attack roosters and need to be removed.

You can have roosters in the same pen without hens if you give them lots of room supposedly but, that said, I have three roosters that were raised together and one just has to attack me and one of the roosters.

I've been plotting my strategy to get rid of him but I'm a little bit nervous about the ensuing struggle when I grab him. Lol.

I have two phoenix roosters who were raised together and they do pretty well together with plenty of hens but they still occasionally spar when the less dominant rooster feels like he wants to be the top dog.

All said, it's easiest to have just one rooster around.

My rooster did a great job at protecting the flock. A very big old ugly road island red. He even ran off cougars. But he would attack anything that came near me, the hens and property. Attack anything that I touched or carried and everyone that came on the property. Big talons that would sink in an inch deep, rip up flesh and muscle, causing deep puncture wound blood infections.

I had to put him down and as soon as I did my flock got picked off. I am going to try an orpington rooster next. I hear they are the most mellow and easier to train. The orpington hens sure are a lot smarter and easier to train. My last surviving hen, an orpington, potty trained herself when I had to bring her in the house over winter. She goes to the wood box door when she needs to poo for me to let her into her out house space.

I have 50 or 60 I have not counted in awhile and 5 rooster they all,live togather freerange and the hens sorta pick the roo that can hang with them so the rooster each have a haram.

You need at least 5 hen per rooster. Eat the mean one keep the good one.

no
