If the roosters get along without a lot of fighting, go ahead and keep them. If not, then you'll have to make a decision. More space can accomodate more roosters too as each will carve out a territory. Right now, my two get along although we are going to separate them once our EE rooster gets bigger. He's already crowing and getting protective of his hens.

there should be 8-10 hens per rooster or they will wear out the hens
