Acting weird??

it is pretty hard getting someone who wants to buy roosters..and when you do they normally just buy one..

I think what the other posters are trying to tell you is, it would be better for those two hens to be with the one rooster and two hens. I strongly agree. If they haven't yet, those cockerels could run those girls ragged - gang breeding, not letting them eat, drink or dust bathe, and over breeding them. Please - get those two girls out of the rooster pen and put them with the other three. They'll have a much better life.

yep i already separated them..I knew i had to many roosters for the hens i thought free ranging would be better and the roosters wouldn't mate with them as much but...I was watching them earlier and they proved me wrong....

They sure did - good job! Once those cockerels hit breeding age, it can get ugly real fast for the pullets and hens.
