I have two Easter Eggers that I bought straight run. They are approximately 11 weeks old. I’m pretty sure my Gray Easter Egger is a cockrel but what are your thought? The brown and gray I don’t know what to think... if they are both cockerels how many hens should I have to keep them both happy and not fighting?

I'm not sure what the genders are, but I think you need around ten hens per roo. I'm not sure though... so if someone says otherwise, trust them, not me!
 
Both are cockerels.

Number of hens per rooster really depends on the rooster. Some roosters do fine with 15 hens to split. Others need 10 hens a piece. I would say that if you're keeping both boys, 15 minimum pullets would be a good starting point.
