Light brahma roo?

Any insight about if these 2 roosters can live together with 9 hens? No other bantams
Bantams can usually live fine with large fowl roosters (and bantams are unlikely to over-mate large fowl hens) as long as the larger rooster doesn’t bully them.

You would need to try it and see. The fewer hens per rooster you have the more likely you will see problems like over-mating and aggression, but that could happen in a flock that the numbers are balanced, too. The personality of the roos and the way they interact can't be determined before hand, but you can wait and see. You may want a plan in place in case they don't get along, though, and one of them could end up injured, so you also need to be ready to intervene.

I have 2 roosters and about 20 hens, and it is still like a soap opera over there. 😅
 
Very limited experience with bantam cockerels, but so far they're proving to have all the respect their LF counterparts lack :lau . I think you'll be fine, as long as the other male doesn't bully him around, and/or either one is battle savvy
 
Thanks everyone! I think it'll help that they are/were raised together. So far so good hut I know everything changes when they're full grown.
