Would I be able to house 3 5-7 month old roosters with 25 hens? 1 RIR rooster 1 Brown leghorn rooster and 1 mix breed rooster only one of the 3 is crowing
 
It would depend on how big your run is and if they free range. I have 5 roosters in a flock with 3 Guineas, 4 baby chicks, and 34 hens. The only time I have trouble is early in the morning before they free range. If one of the lower roosters tries to mate while they are still in the run, a fight breaks out with the alpha rooster.
 
Might be okay. Mine is 32x16 but some days it isn't big enough, when they start arguing. I quickly found out that 10 sqft per bird isn't enough when the rooster hormones start flowing.
