Rooster starving other roosters?

all my birds are bantys so they might be different than regular sized chickens. I am hoping they all wont need that many hens cause if they do I will have to just choose a few breeds to focus on. I really like the variety though.

I did seperate them and I have the 2 D Uccle brothers with the D Uccle hens and the cochin hens; the cochin roos in the house for med time and the others are all seperated by breed. From what I can tell the D Uccle brothers havent even mated the hens yet but they are starting to try (one especially is very timid)

Maybe you could try putting all the subordinate roosters in one area together. I had to do it about three weeks ago and there hasn't been a problem. Of course, there are no hens in there and they are getting along just marvelously.

humm thats a good idea...as long as I dont put any hens with them then you think they will be better off?
