Subordinate cockerel

Thank you for your experience. I am building 2 mini chickshaws which hold 12-16 and and going to put them both in a 164' electric poultry net and divide them into 2 flocks of 10 each not including rooster(I have barred rock and rir) and want to breed them separately. I wasn't sure how to split the electric fence area in 2 so I thought I might just make a chicken wire circle within the full space. But for right now I am making a chicken tractor for the 2 boys until I get it all sorted out. I am not against culling the 2 boys if it doesn't work out. Their current housing is only big enough for 7 full grown which is why I am making a tractor big enough for 4 that I can put 2 boys in. I'm using the measurement of 15 square ft per bird 12" each on the roost. Thank you again for your advice
I'm wanting to separate my cockerels (until the pullets are laying) but I've read they can't see them. Is this true? I have a chicken tractor I could use temporarily.I don't want them to fight.
