Can I keep 'fry pan special' roosters all together until processing?

[DanIndiana]

I assume the answer is yes, but I haven't found a definitive answer. I want to try 25 of the mixed breed roosters from Meyer for meat in the fall as a test batch. I know people say harvest around 20 weeks. Will they be fighting by then, or is this not an issue at that age? Thank you all

As long as there aren't any hens in sight or within hearing range, fighting will be minimal. They may square off and look tough at each other, but w/out any "tail" to fight over, all should be good.

I keep mine together back about 12 yrs or so ago and they did fine.
