This is my first time having "TWO" "YOUNG" roosters together.


I know nothing about what behavior might be when they are older.They bond right now,but does anyone know what may happen in the future?They have their own little pullets,because the big girls don't like the young ones.So,they kinda stick together.

Zues is my New Hampshire.He didn't beat Foggy or Savage (either name works),my leghorn cockeral in the "Who will lead the flock battle.So,Zues is a lower ranking rooster.

I'm concerned and wanna be prepared for the future.
 
I've kept up to 7 or even more roosters together and found fighting in chickens that were siblings as well as no fighting in chickens raised as siblings. I have found, however, that roosters get along best if one is younger then the other and raised like a son. If they have at least 8 hens per rooster they shouldn't fight too much, though the lower in command rooster may be chased away from food and water.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.

Best of luck!
