Can I keep two roosters together? Someone with experience:)

So this May I hatched CHICK'S and I keep two brother roosters, they are 6 months old still not crowing or mateing. Can I keep both? And when will they start crowing and mateing?

How many pullets do you have if you have at least 16hens/pullets then they should be fine to keep both

I had rooster problems because we got too many when were promised pullets. You need 15 hens per rooster, no matter their relation. (So 45 for both boys and their dad, 30 if you do not have their dad) Also they need plenty of space in their pens to run around and kind of avoid each other.

You can also keep them in seperate pens if you are having problems.

Yes, I keep multiple roosters, & it works out fine for me. Just make sure you have enough ladies.

Sounds like you have to pick one of your boys to keep, sadly

And his dad was single but super agressive to me to other chinkens, so I don't want double trouble with this two

So 9 hens on one rooster isn't enough?

If you kept two separate flocks, of each 1 rooster and 9 hens, that could work. But I would not keep all 20 together as the roosters will fight and gang up on the hens.
