It would be split down the middle so four foot sections so the weight wouldn't cause issues. Also gonna be 4x4 post in the corner for structural rigidity
that will be entirely up to the roosters.
Is there anything I can do to alleviate things. Will giving them more room help or is it best to separate them. I probably need to separate them anyway to keep them from crossbreed. Ayam are so expensive I got a rooster for free chicks so I can have more. Cheaper than buying them
if you have chicks, you don't have to separate
Unless they try to kill each other, it could go either way.
If you want pure bred chicks, you'll have to sequester chosen male and females for 3-4 weeks to ensure no sperm remains from other male(s).
Would the 2 roosters growing up together make a difference. I know the 2 breeds i have are supposed to docileThere is no predicting roosters.
Some are highly aggressive toward other roosters -- especially the game breeds, with a few of the most highly-selected fighting types even fighting in the brooder.
Others are tolerant and laid back. Rameses, my senior flockmaster, is so calm about other roosters that when a son of his who had been separated for over a month got out of his pen and ended up going into the main coop for the night Rameses didn't bother him at all except for not letting him up on the main roost.
My 5-month cockerels have been sparring with a little blood drawn on their combs, but though Rameses will knock them off a hen who complains and he will break up their fight if it goes on longer than he things correct, he doesn't fight with them.
I used to have 4 black hens to prove that the sperm could last for 4 weeks.

Here January is colder than December. My site is gonna be under a bunch of tall trees to a. Keep the coop and most of the run in the shade and b. To keep predatory birds from seeing them flying by. And what is a good gage wire cloth to go with to keep them safe and is it worth the extra money to pony up for the pvc coatedThat's a good idea in one of the places that see both extremes of heat and extremes of cold. Some people do removable panels.
In the steamy heat of the US Gulf Coast it would be overkill.
In fact, I have seen photos of a "coop" in Louisiana that consisted of a brushy pasture surrounded by electric netting, a bank of nest boxes next to the pasture gate (where the owner could conveniently gather the eggs without opening the gate), and an open roost with a roof and one little half-wall on the side where the winter winds came from.
Unfortunately, I don't have any links for that arrangement -- it was many years ago.
Chickens suffer far more from heat than from cold.
If you can have an 80F day in January you don't need to worry about giving the birds a fully enclosed space even in the winter.
