We have 5 roosters and 28 hens. Most of the time, they go their separate ways (they all free range) but occasionally one of the roos will play "wing man" to another roo and be tolerated. The boss roo changes constantly...it's hard to keep track. One month it's Zeus, the next month it's Romeo. Seems to depend on how many hens flock to one or the other. We do have squabbles which usually result in alittle blood on the comb or a swollen eyelid, but we've never had any serious injuries so far. It's very important to have enough hens to go around if you have muliple roos, otherwise the hens will pay the price. Cheers, Lynn
