Cockerel? Or no?

[Folly's place]

Two cock birds will be way to much for only two hens!!! You need to have more pullets anyway; if you only have two birds, and one dies, the survivor will be miserable.
No-crow collars can kill birds, I don't think they are a good idea.
Have you considered improving your run security? Chicken wire keeps birds in, and does NOT protect them from predators!

They may not fight. My sister had two roosters that were raised together from the time they were bought at the feed store as pullets. They never fought. The thing was, she had a ton of hens for them, so it wasn't so bad. The few chickens that you have would be over bred in no time. Meaning, yea... too much sex. The cockerels, in their young inexperience, would rip feathers out of the girls necks, and claw up their rump areas.

Not sure why we are talking about run security?
I have to re-home the roosters because of where I live. I can only have hens or if the roosters wore the collars then the neighbors wouldn't be bothered.
It doesn't have anything to do with their pen.

And I guess I do have to re-home at least one because of the over breeding. The only nearby farm I know the dudes sick in the hospital
