Rooster help

[LRH97]

No the fights aren’t too bad, the youngest rooster doesn’t want to fight the older rooster but he sure wants mate with the older roosters hens, I might be moving by the end of March into May so I may build 2 coops for them, but I don’t think I might be able to get more hens

You could probably get away with keeping trios in separate coops. In the meantime, the space issue could turn even small fights between the roos into something worse.

Wishing they will all get along does not work. Free ranging does not make up for a too small set up. It can be hard to give away animals, but it can also be hard to watch roosters fight. It is called cock fighting, and it is what it is, even if you are not making money on it.

If you keep them for your own heart, they may eventually fight to the death of one of them. You either have to separate them or get incredibly lucky.
