Good advice, I want to add a couple more hens! Right now our coop is small so I don’t want to add more until my husband finishes the big coop, then the famous chicken math comes into play. You can already tell the one roo is the ruler, the other one doesn’t seem to mind and has actually taken to following my husband everywhere. Hopefully they will be okay, like yours are! Once they are a bit older they will have lots of free ranging room and only be penned at night - so maybe we will be able to keep them both in the end!I have 2 roosters 11 yrs and game/game bantam, so mid size and a tiny OEGB roo who is 4 yrs old. They manage to live okay with each other, my old roo still is healthy and ruler of the flock except for the geese he respects them. So hopefully your 2 roos will do fine together. Making sure they have enough females is important. Might want to add some extra hens. And enough room I am not sure my roos would be okay penned with each other. But they do sleep in the same coop together.
Also, funny you say that about the geese. Our chickens already give them a wide berth.
