Broody Hen In November

well, 2 don't act like roos at all, and are very passive. then the other 2 get along great. the hens are not over mated. they seem quite happy. i have 15 chickens, including the roos. the hens show no signs of stress. they really only get mated on by one roo.
How old are they? Sounds like they may still be young and immature. And if you hatch chicks, you can be sure that about half or more will likely be male. Just be aware that having so many males be eventually become problematic. And you need to have a plan for what to do if and when issues do arise.

they are about 8 months. i have seen i little bickering every so often, but otherwise, everything stays calm.
