As soon as next Spring comes around, I'm planning on getting some silkie bantam chickens from the Tractor Supply Store. However they only sell straight run (male and female chickens mixed together as hatched). If I happen to get two or more roosters for a small flock, will they fight each other?
 
Silkies tend to be very docile, so its definantly less likely, but roosters (even if raised together) get into "arguments" over dominace. They won't fight to the death or anything but there will probably be squabbling over dominace. If you have a good hen to roo ratio and enough space it helps keep it down.
