Hens with new Roosters.

[Loudcock]

My girlfriends grandmas gave us to roosters because they were hurting her hens. We got the Roosters on such short notice, and I didn't want to just put them together. We have 2 hens but they are much older than the new roosters. My coop is really only big enough for the 2 of the hens. I had to split the coop in half with the roosters in one half the hens in the other. is there any way I can put them together? Or do I have to have 2 separate coops? I also have chicks.

How big is the coop and do you only have the two hens?
If you only have the two hen's, you cant have roosters at all, your hens will get overbred.

The coop is about ten feet and about 5 feet tall. I do only have the two hens. So I have 2 Roosters and two Hens

Only keep 1 rooster max. I wouldn’t keep any roosters with that few of hens

Okay cool. I have eight chicks and two ducks right now as well in the house. Once they are older can I house the old hens, the new roosters with the young flock? OR should I just get rid of the roosters altogether until the baby rooster grows up? And also why did my two roosters fight each other one time? They grew up together, and all I did was give them a cucumber to split.

Considering how small your coop is and you only have 2 full grown hens, these roosters which were given to you since they were being jerks to the hens, I'd rehome them or make them stew.
They will rape your hens and possibly kill the hen chicks as they get older.
Do not keep these roosters if at least like your hens.

Roosters will fight for position in the flock, who's the top rooster, who gets the best food and has a right to the hens. If one rooster refuses to back down, it could turn into a fight to the death.

Damn dude. That is crazy. And there is absolutely no way this can work? Why are the roosters like this?

So if one of the roosters back down then it will be okay? I just have so many questions abut these animals, and no-one to ask because my girls grandma doesn't really know either. I don't want to bombard you with 1000 questions.

Feel free to bombard. :]
There's a very slim chance it will be ok, roosters mate a lot, just one rooster needs at least 8 hens and if he's as "mean "(maybe hormonal overbreeding?) as you've been told, he's need a lot more hens than that. Double that number for two roosters and even then it might not stop the fighting.
A good rooster will ask permission to mate by doing a little dance around the hen and will go by the hen decisions. A bad one will just jump her and hold her down to force her.
A good rooster will show his ladies all the best spots to lay eggs, show the best food, defend them and escort them after they lay an egg.
A bad one's only concerns are 'food for me' and mating.
I think you could possibly keep a rooster if he's a perfect gentlemen, many people keep breeding trios, (IMO, still not enough hens), but these don't sound like they know how to treat a hen.
