can roosters that have been together

[chickenreyna]

Since they wete born get along after they all grow up? I have 3 roos 3-4mos old.. (2 latebloomers i thought were pullets, which just both started crowing this week) they are bantam cochins AKA pekins, also no fighting occurs.. They seem to have quite a bond.

It depends on the individuals involved. Will they be housed in a bachelor pad or with females?

Um ones female is actually housed with them right now! they have all 4 been together since hatched. But, i intend on getting more females.. Is it kind of jusr will have to watch and see since chickens are all different just like each human is..

You have them with just a sole pullet? I can guarantee that will NOT work. At all. Even if the males get along well it will be a miserable existence for that lone pullet.

Either get MANY more pullets and hens, or separate all the cockerels, or move all those cute boys on elsewhere.
One pullet and one cockerel isn't really a good thing either; she will be miserable.

I agree with the above posts. Your cockerels apparently haven't reached breeding age yet (but at 3-4 months, it could happen very soon), so they haven't started gang-breeding your pullet, or fighting over breeding rights. These things will very likely happen. Either move her out with one of the boys, or put all the cockerels in a bachelor pen. As stated above, even one pullet with one cockerel will be hard on her. Three of them - she will never get any rest.

While each chicken has their own personality, just like every person, they still have basic instincts. For cockerels, that instinct is to BREED, BREED, BREED - especially when the hormones hit. Just like teenage boys, they don't think of anything else.
