Rooster bachelor pad!

Not so much advice, just a word of caution. If you have any sort of gamefowl breed, it won't work

Hi! In my opinion it depends a lot on the breed (and temperament). I have many male Brahmas that live together with the hens and they get along pretty well. Even if I separate more males together, they don't fight. It's also true that I also do a temperament selection, so I cull anyone that's aggressive towards me or the other animals (I do the same with my quails).
I think that, if the roosters in the bachelor pad want to fight, they will, regardless they see the females or not.

Thanks! These 2 roosters are EE/silver lace Wyandotte mixes and have never been aggressive with me. They really are good roosters I just really hate so much breeding and making hens bareback so that’s my main reason for wanted to remove them from the hens and give the hens a break. I’m not sure if they will fight or not if they are separated from the hens but I guess we will see.

Also they are actually just cockerels because they are only 8 months old

At this age it's normal to overbreed. If you have a correct ratio, they'll become much better when they mature

I assume the ratio is ok then maybe they will settle down! Just the 2 Roos and 21 hens
