My 7 (6?  the flock seems to be down to 6 but I

(Flock dropped off at night a couple of months
ago, by somebody who didn't need more roosters, I
guess.  They've been roosting in a Maple at night
and hanging around mostly my backyard.)

There's no hens to provoke this as far as I know.

The instinct to flock seems to be at odds with the
instinct to fight.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

I'm not sure my posts are showing up, and I'm sure you all care
deeply. some roosters will fight no matter what, like people. when i
get too many roosters i give them away.. for free. to ,hopefully,
good homes. i still think you could get them in with an intrepid
buddy. they are blind in the dark.
