If you plan on keeping 2 roos together in a cage, they must BOTH be virgins and should be kept away from the girls or trouble will start. They might be a little depressed missing their flock mates at first, but they will get over it.
They don't have to be virgins and if they have girls they will decide amongst themselves who is the boss rooster and who does as he is told and all is well. If they grow up together there is usually little problems but you can manage it with two roosters that don't know each other. When you introduce them do it in a place that neither rooster knows so there is no territory crap going on and keep the girls away for the first week or so. After that they should be comfortable with each other and any arguments should be the kind where no one really gets hurt and resolved quickly. The lead rooster gets the girls the sub male has to sneak if he wants a girl...that is the way of things. This is generally, some breed of roosters are more aggressive then others. I raise silkies and I breed for nice roosters anyway so I have less problems then people do with other breeds but I have had this work with most breeds I have tried it on. 2 roosters in the house??? You have to be a masochist LOL.
