Thank you! Do you think we will need to rehome the cockerels? We only have a total of 6 chicks and I am worried they will fight with a ratio of 4 pullets to 2 cockerels

Yes, I'd rehome one or both of them. If your just wanting eggs you've no need for a rooster.

It depends on the individuals. That being said, it is possible! Many even have success with fewer hens, although not recommended.
