I too have bullies 2 roosters they are 5 months old. I also have 6- 3 months old chicks. I let all them have free run. The young one stay by them self. Every time I put them all together the 2 roosters will chase and peck the young one. They will not go into the coop at night.This has been going on for a month. Is the younger ones to young to be put with the older one. All together I have 9 hens and the 2 young rooster and one old rooster.

I'm thinking you have too many roosters. If the two older Roos get along well except with the one younger one you could regime him. If not I would pick your favorite and get rid of the others.

Yeah agree 3 roosters to 9 hens is unlikely to work out long term. It's probably easier to rehome two now and avoid the stress.

Maybe. Growing up my mom had chickens and at times she had more roosters than hens. She kept them all as pets and never regimes or culled any. Sometimes she would have hens with their necks bald but overall they were not too mean to each other, just the people!!! You could always try it and if all else fails find a home or two but it probably will be stressful. You never know though. Maybe they will grow out of it.

Darn auto correct. Regime means rehome
