So now we have 4 roosters and 4 hens. As long as our feeders are full and available we haven’t had any problems with them. They’re just over 7 months old but can you give me a heads up to some issues we may have with having so many roosters?

They will overmate your pullets. That will result in a lot of feather loss for the girls and potentially injury. Also, the cockerels will fight amongst themselves. I'm surprised it's not happening already.
