I' ve been raising chickens on and off for many years now but I could really use some advice on what to do with having to many roosters? Ive simply gave them away in the past but now my daughter won't part from the new ones! so my question is should I seperate them from the flock or try to let everyone work it out/ I currently have one Momma hen with her two Roosters that follow her everywhere (1 Rhode Island Red and the other is a Bantam.) But I now have 4 more chickens. 2 of them Roosters/ and 2 Hens, They are all from Momma hens last brood she hatched in the fall. But to make this more complicated she went broody again over the winter (while I was building a new winter coop) I moved the Roosters and 2 hens to the new coop and left her to sit on her eggs! But she sat way to long and so I new they were not good.
I then removed the eggs and tried to introduce her to a brood of baby chicks but she wasn't having it! Now I have returned her to flock where she instantly took over! lol! And there seems to be no problem with the other hens and her but the Rhode Island red and Bantam wants the other roosters out of the coop! I dont know whats going on? BTW! Free Roosters Here! shh!
 
I hope you can "re-home" the roosters :welcome

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! My daughter made a separate space in the coop for the other 2 roosters to be contained at night for safety purposes but they have only let one of the roosters come in to go to this space and the other stays outside in the pine trees above. I was hoping since he joins in with them in the morning during free range they would eventually allow him to come back at night? Im now working on a new coop for the spring and summer time so they will all be going through a transfer period, So IDK maybe? but I will be looking for a home for him.
