Introducing two roosters to flock

[jethrobodeen1581]

I had a rooster that I lost to hawks and I am looking to replace him. I am getting two roosters tomorrow who will be quarantined in a tractor for 30 days. They were raised together and come from the same flock. Will there be any issues introducing them both being it is a new flock? Will it awaken some deeper issues between them? I have 9 girlies.

It may cause issues..... but not so much between roosters. Two covering 9 will play heck on the hens. Watch for over breeding as well as aggressive behavior between roosters.

I was afraid of that and was kind of planning on eating one of them.

The boys might be really agressive to the hens at first or maybe the girls will introduce them to the bottom of the pecking order. All in all the best cure is time and it'll be fine. Though 9 hens really aren't enough for 2 roos.
