Hi when do I get chicks for a male

[Tallisdibrani]

Ah okay thank you x would there be signs at first like if they are starting to properly fright ?

Could I just put them all together like the two boys and a couple of pullets

having a separate bachelor pen for the boys would probably be best. If you don't have enough hens or space, the boys will fight

 

[Tallisdibrani]

I was going to separate them and buy them in idividual coops and their own pullets but then I wouldn’t have enough space but if I only buy one big one and they could go outside and all together then I can get more pullets for them

No. All of a sudden, they'll just begin whooping on each other. They may stop on their own or they may not

If you don’t have the space for a bachelor pad or for more hens, it’s more responsible to just sell/get rid of one of the males, IMO. That’s what I would do at least. You could try what you are suggesting (2 males with a few females), but I would bet there will be problems sooner or later. Like others have said, males will fight for females if there aren’t enough. They may also over-mate the females, fight with each other, etc.

Even as they get older there going to try to fight.
I have the dad rooster and son together in an open space. They sleep separate from one another. The son goes into my outdoor brooder with a hen to sleep.

Three days ago I let them out for the morning. The son rooster thought he would challenge his dad in front of me. After blocking them from ripping each other apart with my leg. Btw, I have cuts and bruising from that and I wore sweats. I grabbed the son and placed him back in the brooder while I cleaned up his dad's bloodied comb.

Next morning it was a normal day of everyone getting along. I'm pretty sure it was going to be a sad ending if I didn't intervene. Here's a picture of dad and son (is the white one) today.

Yes that has just happened I put them back in with each other and they are fine but they are about 5 weeks old so when would I separate them x

Whenever they decide they won't stop on their own.
