Do the pecking orders for roosters change more or less frequently? I have 3 roos and can't seem to tell which one is dominant. One day one is chasing the other two around and another day another one is doing the chasing.

I ask because I may need to get rid of 2 roos since I have 3 roos and 2 hens from my 5 chicks.

From what I have heard, roosters will fight over the hens. A good ratio is 1 roo per 10 hens. I suppose you could try to keep the roo's with your hens for a while but you may start to notice your hens backs getting bare and them losing their feathers. If you still want to keep your roosters you could always make them a bachelor pad (house them together away from the hens)?
I hope someone with more experience chimes in!
Good Luck!
