Wow, thanks.. Hopefully they will get along. The two black ones are the most social ones and ok with cuddles.

Cuddles and petting is not sometimes you want to do if you intend to keep them.
Do you have other females?

This is our flock so far, 8 total. So I think 5 females and 3 roos?

You don't have enough girls for 3 roos, they'll rub your hens out.

Yes, I will have to go buy some adult hens when they mature. How many do you think we need?
