Hmmm... I thought you meant you trimmed it like they do in high production barns and my animal welfare senses started tingling.
You should just leave 2 roosters seperated. Stop rotating them, and sell or eat the 2 you don't need.

x2. You need to do something with the roosters. Rotating them will just make their lives miserable. Maybe set up a thread in your local forum? Someone might be willing to take a roo.

You thought I was debeaking it? I would never do that ,I would feel terrible. I put Oscar in the cage so that he wouldn't hurt Lil duck.

I'm glad to hear that! Unfortunately too many people still do it
You can try Craigslist, Kijiji, or your local state forum to rehome your roos if you don't want to cull them

That's quite unusual. What breed?

Hmmm.
That is unusual. Fast growing breeds will mature sooner.
I doubt your birds were trying to mate. They were likely doing what is known as "dominance mounting".
