It turns out we have two roosters in our flock of 13. Hagar, the Jersy Giant, seems to be the real leader, but now that the second Roo has revealed himself, I wonder if they will be able to live together. Hagar has had some domination tussels with the other, but nothing awful yet. Can we expect it to escalate, or will they work it out?
 
You should be fine. They will establish pecking order and then it should quiet down. Five or six hens each is a good number for each. I have had 3 or 4 RIR roosters in a flock of only 15 hens...

As lng as they are raised together they should be ok to stay together...
 
Thanks for such a quick answer! Yes, they were all chicks raised together in the same brooder box. I really want this to work out, as it would be hard to choose one to part with. My granddaughter would be upset, too.
