Two feathered bachelors who'd rather snuggle than chase hens

Meet my two feathered bachelors, seven-month-old roosters who'd rather snuggle than chase hens. These silly guys hang out together, roost together, and have zero interest in the ladies beyond being friendly flockmates. The oldest rooster (last image) doesn't mind them one bit. Usually, we'd rehome young roosters earlier, but these two have been remarkably calm. It's like they formed their own little bachelor pad in the coop. Sometimes the best fowl play is just vibing with your best buddy.
