Need a Rooster Expert's Advice

[crookedcreekranch]

Recently got 20 chicks. 2 light brahma's have turned out to be roosters. They are now 14 weeks old. They get along fine. Can I keep them together? They are in an enclosed coop/run due to predators with the 18 girls....10 x 20 ft. coop with a 12 x 36 run. They are gentle and will sit on my lap. I would like to keep them together. I could move one over to another coop where I currently have 4 buff orps and 2 EE's. Would that cause a problem in that coop? thanks!!

2 roos with 20 hens should be fine.

They have all been raised together .... they should be fine together. 2 roosters with 18 hens is fine.

I agree. They will probably get along fine.
I wouldn't have lap sitting roosters though. They lose their fear of humans that way. Losing their fear can cause big trouble if they turn out to have some aggression in them.
IMO, hens are for loving on. Roosters should be left alone to do their job.
