How many nests for the chickens?

You had a lot of good and informative responses!
One thing to add. If you make a coop and pen for cockerels /roosters, make sure they can’t see the hens and they will live peacefully together.

That is great advice!! Hadn't thought of that. In about two months it'll be a must, by their age they'll start to mature sexually and we definitely don't want them to fight each other. Thanks BDutch

Fighting or getting along will also depend on breed and individual temperament. The fighting breeds can't be kept together at all and some individual roosters of any breed will attack all other roosters whether there are hens in the picture or not.

Ok, that's why originally had thought of cages (the type of cages everyone keep their fighting roosters which are not small). I haven't seen if siblings will get along 24/7 and the last ones we had did face each other off every once in a while, as they didn't have their spurs yet they didn't cause each other damage. We sold them before there was need to separate them though.
