Can roosters live solely with other roosters?

[Ccort]

If raised together, can roosters live in a coop and run with just other roosters? I am trying to plan ahead in case I received males in my all female order. I'm wondering if I can separate the ladies and gents permanently, if needed.

Yes.

Some people call it a "bachelor pad" or "bachelor coop."

There are a number of threads on here discussing the idea. Here are two examples:

Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't. Roosters are a crapshoot. Some are rotten and a few are fantastic. The more roosters you have...the greater the chance of a rotten one.

Yes they can, @RoostersAreAwesome has lots of experience and excellent advice on Bachelor Pads, some of which I believe @NatJ linked above.
