3 roosters with 1 hen

[bobbi-j]

You have 3 cockerels and 1 pullet(not cocks and hens until one year of age), at 4 months they are far from grown, but those boys will soon becoming sexually mature and start fighting and trying to mate with the pullet.

I'd strongly suggest that you find a way to separate the males asap...
...when it gets ugly, it happens fast and the pullet could easily be injured.
How big is your coop, in feet by feet?
Any chance you can put up a temporary wall for separation?
Pics would help us help you.

Adding new birds can be tricky....lots of space, separate but adjacent space works best.

Consider biological/medical quarantine:

BYC 'quarantine' search

Integration Basics:
It's all about territory and resources(space/food/water).
Existing birds will almost always attack new ones to defend their resources.
Understanding chicken behaviors is essential to integrating new birds into your flock.

Confine new birds within sight but physically segregated from older/existing birds for several weeks, so they can see and get used to each other but not physically interact.

In adjacent runs, spread scratch grains along the dividing mesh, best if mesh is just big enough for birds to stick their head thru, so they get used to eating together.

The more space, the better. Birds will peck to establish dominance, the pecked bird needs space to get away. As long as there's no copious blood drawn and/or new bird is not trapped/pinned down and beaten unmercilessly, let them work it out. Every time you interfere or remove new birds, they'll have to start the pecking order thing all over again.

Multiple feed/water stations. Dominance issues are most often carried out over sustenance, more stations lessens the frequency of that issue.

Places for the new birds to hide 'out of line of sight'(but not a dead end trap) and/or up and away from any bully birds. Roosts, pallets or boards leaned up against walls or up on concrete blocks, old chairs tables, branches, logs, stumps out in the run can really help. Lots of diversion and places to 'hide' instead of bare wide open run.

This used to be a better search, new format has reduced it's efficacy, but still:

This is good place to start reading, BUT some info is outdated IMO:

Exactly this.

You might consider starting completely over. A single hen is a difficult introduction.

However, if you were adding three new hens, about the same size as your original hen, lock the original hen into the dog crate, and let the new birds explore the area and coop. Then put a pair of them in the dog crate, and one new one with the original bird, let them work it out for a few days. Flipping the pair in the crate.
After a week, let them all out together, and they should be pretty good.

That's definitely a lot of roosters for one hen, and even though there is a slight possibility of it working out, it will most likely not. Personally, I would separate 2-3 of the roosters into a rooster-only pen (https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/) and then get 1-5 more hens (depending on if you keep a rooster with the hen/s or not).

I really do love my roosters, started with 3. Hatched 4 more... Now they are driving me and this little township crazy.. 18 laying hens but the roos, come on.. Not good.. Always crowing, fighting, and violently attempting to peck and kick me.. Q: what do I do? I don't want to kill them

Give them away. 7 is way too much for 18 hens. If they’re being aggressive to you, that won’t improve and get better. You could make a coop just for them (“bachelor pad”) but if they’re fighting and flogging you, my adivce would be to keep one and give the others away, make sure you do warn whoever they go to they are human-aggressive, or the ones that are. Unfortunately, crowing comes along with a cockerel, not much can be done about that.

Edit: my personal opinion is a min of 6 sexually mature hens to one sexually mature cockerel, 18 hens for 7 cockerels is near on 2 each. If they fight over breeding the hens, the hens could get seriously injured, not to mention the cockerels themselves. I would save myself, my cockerels and my hens the stress and hassle and keep one lucky boy.

When the hormones kicked in with my younger boys and they got feisty, I'd give them a light tap on the head or pick them up and carry them around for a while to settle them. I also didn't show any stress when pecked and kicked, and walk over them or push them out of the way like a dominant bird would, though my birds are Silkies who are a more docile breed, these things may help you assert dominance on your rowdy boys. As for the crowing, I at first tried using the no-crow collars but the boys despised them, so instead if they were outside and crowed, I'd walk out, pick them up, scooping 2 roos and one cockerel into my arms, and carry them inside.

They soon learned that crowing = time out, and will only really crow at certain times that you can plan ahead for, instead of constantly screaming their lungs out like a distant roo I hear when outside which I feel used to trigger my boys.

Thanks.... Now the hard part, who to go be them to?

All my roosters are white crested black pure breed polish roos.

Keep the one who is least aggressive.
