I know all about that.they fight me dominance an I'm hundred sixty pounds bigger an them.They don't see themselves as "siblings". At this stage of the game, those cockerels are full of hormones telling them to "BREED, BREED, BREED!" That's all they're thinking of. You would be doing all of them a favor by treating them like chickens and not little feathered people. Leave those boys in with the pullets and they may also start fighting for position of "top roo". Sometimes those fights can lead to injury and potentially death. Chicken society is not pretty once they reach mating age. You can put all three males together, away from the pullets. That would reduce your chances of them fighting, and will definitely make your pullets' lives easier. You are not doing those pullets any favors at this point by allowing the cockerels to harass and gang breed them. You are also not doing any good to those cockerels, putting them in the position of having to fight each other for dominance.
