2 Roosters ..... Best way to integrate them?

[Mrs. K]

It might work, and it might not. Might work for a while, then might not. Might work from here on out. Roosters are a crap shoot. If it doesn't work have a plan B set up ready to go.

I have 4 roosters coexisting which were introduced at different life stages. another flock has 2 roosters as well.

Fighting is normal, but I never let them fight very long so it doesn't escalate out of control. One rooster will have to submit and accept being lower than the other one. I really like the see-no-touch method. Put one rooster in a cage/separate area, where they can see and get close to each other, but unable to harm one another. Once in the morning and once at night, let them interact for about 10-15 minutes while you watch. When you notice things improving(less sparring, allowing each other to eat side by side) you let them roost together overnight, but be sure to check on them early in the morning!! You'll never want to leave them alone together unsupervised very long during the day at first.
It could take a week, or a month before you see improvement, every rooster is different.
Free ranging them together during the day is a great way too, as there is plenty of open space. I will do this from day 1 if I can. In the coop though one needs to be separated until they learn to coexist.

I have a 2 year old roo and just got a new silkie trio with a young roo. They are in separate coops but I want them to be about to free range together. Suggestions?

I have a silky flock and a standard flock. Both flocks free range and rarely interact. I have plenty of space between coops, so each flock has established their own territory. If your coops are closer together you may want to have a time where the flocks can see, but not touch each other before they are freeranged together.
