help I have two cockerels can I keep both?

[Galaxy_rules]

I have two cockerels who are brothers and they are very peaceful with each other. I’d say you can as long as no fights break out, a little peck or scuffle is fine but no attacking each other.

Do the hens and the roosters live sepretly because we wanted one of the hens to have some fertile eggs to incubate.

They don't care about incubation, they just want to mate.
Multiple males creates an environment of competition, which can bring out the worst of all their behaviors and can leave females at the mercy of them.

My bad I ment could one of the roosters mate with one because we wanted a hen to have fertile eggs and incubate them or let her hatch them

Well, the biological drive to mate is to reproduce...but they don't think about it like humans do.

Yes, if you want fertile eggs you would want to leave one of the males with the females.

With the other rooster should his run be near the main run and coop so he can see the other ones or not?

You only need one male to keep 10-20 female fertile.
I'd get rid of the other male.....or keep him in a separate coop/run, in sight or not doesn't really matter.
