thats good to know, my situation is i am over run with boys again, after having three from last hatch, and buying one in

i am keeping the barnevelder, with the large hens as i have two hens, and i have the other pen with 4 confirmed males and one unsexed auracana.

i have a male and female black pekin, so i am reluctant to get rid of the female, but they are really well bonded, and it would be sad to see them separated, despite my post in market place advertising the cockerel.

and my other male is the guy that started my love for the breed, and also has a story behind his arrival.

so hopefully the two males will live together, or maybe the wee black two with the barnvleder, i don't know
