I like the idea of 2 flocks alot. I just didn't know how so I left them in 1 coop, but now that I think of it I kind of have that with my younger chickens and older ones running lose, only crossing paths when I go outside to feed them.When I am doing the free-range thing with non-game chickens, it is either with one adult rooster or several. Two or three is more complicated because a rooster has more to win with a protracted fight when only one or two competitors involved. If several, then others disrupt fight and winning does not get you as far as more fights will be likely in short term, With one, no fight needed.
You could pen one rooster (the older gifted bird). This easiest approach and roosters can be rotated in terms of who is with hens, Keep roosters from fighting through pen wall.
Another option like I run on what reads as similar acreage is to setup two discrete flocks with separate roosting and egg collection sites and largely exclusive home ranges. You effectively have similar with neighbors flock taken into consideration.
