Do I need to separate my chickens?

[WestChesterChicken]

I am new to raising chickens....first time this spring. I have purchased 3 different types. New Hampsires, Dorkings, and Cochins. I purchased a male and 6 female of each type. Right now they are 4 weeks old and doing great. My question is since I have 3 males will I have to separate the birds into different coops so they won't fight. If I let them free range from time to time will that help? Thanks for your input!!!

Hmmm... If they are raised together, they are probably fine... I'd separate them into breeding pens, but that's just me...
Good Luck!
