I would love to have a small flock of 4-6 hens and two roosters. As far as room goes, I plan to have a atleast a half an acre to 1 whole acre. The breeds I've selected are not known to be aggressive roosters. Will this work or will they fight? P.S: The two roos I want are (1) Java and (1) Penedesenca.
 
I have 2 rooster and 30 hens, but both of roosters are seperated.
One free range and one fenced with few hens.
one standard and one bantam rooster.
 
I have large fenced in area with 2 LF roos and 2 Bantam Roos, some fighting, but no one has ever been killed or seriously injured. My breeds are not aggressive.
 
When my birds setup territories, a harem of on rooster and two hens typically range at least a good 1.5 acres. I can tighten it up considerably by strategic placement of feeding stations near cover.
