You need to keep them all in separate housing. There are not enough hens to keep all those roosters from fighting each other.
The general rule seems to be no more than 1 rooster to every 10 hens. Even if the roosters get along, there's a chance that that few hens would wind up getting stressed out by so many roosters wanting to get all lovey with them.
I think you'd be okay with two roosters in the same coop. I have around 20+ roosters all in the same pen. ~Aspen
