My maybe cockrels...

[Campnellis]

My little friends♡ I know y'all said cockrels but the little ones are the sweetest things.Can they coexist with my older rooster? They damn sure sleep right next to him and love all of us lol. As soon as I walk out the door the come running and hop up on me. They snuggle in and don't move until I make them. They are also super sweet to my almost 2 yr old twins. Hard job considering they are tiny terrorists. The twins, not the baby chickens lol.

They do look like cockerels. As for keeping them as long as they get along and don’t overbreed your hens I see no reason to get rid of them. I don’t know how many hens you have but three roosters can be a lot so the best advice I can give is to just wait and see!

That's what I figured! One has the cutest muffs and beard. The other has the single comb and is super sweet. If anything, I've got a flea market 2 minutes down the road but I adore them.

Yup, those are cockerels. With enough space and hens, they might be able to co-exist. How many hens do you have?

Currently only 9. Plans to get about 10 more but it'll be awhile.

How are they so budd-buddy with the existing flock? Because they are young?

Maybe, maybe not.
Your rooster probably isn't bothered by them at this time because they're not a threat to him or a threat to take his ladies.
Things may change when they mature. The more hens the better for sure.
They do seem to do much better when the younger ones grow up with tbe older one instead of trying to throw mature roosters together. It also works better if you never separate them then try to reintroduce them.
I'd be more concerned with how you raise them. I've never had problems once I started raising mine with the hands off method.
Lots of these babied boys turn on you when they hit puberty. Not something you'll want with littles around. Especially as little as yours.
Try it and see but pay attention and be prepared to rehome if any get stupid. No cockerel/rooster is worth a kid getting a scar or worse.

ALL roosters are friendly with humans and other chickens before they get their spurs.Then the hormones kick in and their personalities shift. I would Not put roosters all together they would just fight!

Not really enough hens for more than one rooster. Even 19 is really only enough hens for 2 roosters. In a small flock with three roosters, there is a very high chance they will start fighting and overmate the hens.

Not necessarily. I've got about 70 or 80 living together right now that don't fight.
