Keeping 2 cockerels...trouble?

I'm sorry the EE Cockerel didn't work out for you, but it is great you can take him back to his original farm. You did exactly the right thing here.
Thank you! Until we figure it out he has become a house chicken and he is having a great time!

I have 6 cockerels and roosters all together. They need to have enough room to get away from each other. Most of the time they avoid a fight. When one rooster gets lucky, the others come running and they all chase each other for a couple seconds but nobody gets hurt. I also have lots of hens. With a two hens/ two rooster ratio, your hens will be bald from the attentions of the boys. Ten-1 is better.
 
My thoughts EXACTLY. I'd invest in chicken diapers! The idea of having a house chicken is really cute and intriguing, but my hubby would want nothing to do with it!

We have vinyl floors thank goodness but its definitely not a long term solution. My husband thinks he can litter train him which is hilarious.
 
My four suspects once opened the back door and distributed feed down the hall into their room. I found Hei-hei in the bottom dresser drawer and other edibles scratching around the house. EWY YUCky Chicken Pooy in the HOUSE!!!!!!
 
Update: he is biting my husband. He also falls asleep in his lap. He ignores me. Probably because I have fed him since birth. I’ve had some wing flapping in my direction but not sure if its behaviour or just general wing flapping as he is going through a molt.
