my chicks are now 9 wks old and i think 3 are roos...i know they will battle till death.. but if i seperate one with the hens. can the other two roos live in a run together or will they kill each other too?
 
In my experience, if they are raised together, they will develop a pecking order that will keep fights at bay. If you ever separate one, or two, from the group and try to introduce it, they will fight until they are tired and bloody or dead.
 
What breed are they? I have 6 together and they rarely fight. Unless they are an aggressive breed, they should be fine, as long as you have plenty of hens around to satisfy them.
