Too many roosters

[shmeggs]

i have 11 silver laced wyandottes living in coop together 3 are roosters. The hens only lay 3 to 4 eggs per day. I have been wondering if having 3 roosters is stressing the hens

Quite likely. Pull the roosters and see what happens.

Have the roosters been attacking each other? I had 3 roosters with a flock of 16 hens and they got harassed by the roosters so I only have one now. The hens may not be laying because they are molting. How old are they?

The roosters are not attacking each other they just after the hens all the time. They are 6 months old now

I have been thinking of removing the extra roosters, not sure how they will get along with my turkeys that where I am thinking putting them

Definitely remove the extra cockerels....not sure how they'd do with turkeys, might need yet another enclosure.
