So we have 2 silkies a girl and a boy in spring of 2021 we let them hatch 7 baby's (4 were other breeds and 1 was a Jersey giant who is about to lay in the coop with are silkies) we sold all 3 baby silkies to a very nice lady and got 2 new-genetic silkies.we now have 2 roosters and 2 hens+the Jersey. The lady I sold the 3 baby's to contacted me and 2 of the baby's I sold her ended up being roosters so she is giving them back to us tomorrow.we have 2 coops, 2 hens, and soon to be 4 roosters. The 2 that we are getting back tomorrow are biologically the baby's of are oldest rooster but he only saw them for like a week when they were born.the new-genetic baby's are very bonded and I don't want to separate them. Should I put are oldest rooster in 1 of the coops with the 2 we are getting tomorrow?if so how do I keep them from killing each other?
 
I doubt they will kill each other. You can introduce them slowly if you are worried. Let the new cockerels meet the rooster without them being able to touch each other if you can. When you do put them together, do it while they’re free ranging (without the hens) if you are able to free range your chickens.
