Young roosters

I've had 5 different roosters. One, an EE rooster, was mean as the devil and we were all glad when something ate him. My buff laced polish was a gentleman - non human aggressive and good to the ladies. Something also got him, and two of four of the chicks that he fathered were roosters. THOSE two fought quite a bit, but nothing serious. Something got one of them, and I still have the other. He's the head rooster, and his son is the under rooster. I have enough hens that both have their own favorites, so I usually only see some chasing by the senior rooster if the junior rooster attempts to poach any hens. The senior rooster it tiny compared to his son, who is part Brahma and is HUGE! However, the junior rooster runs and stays away from the senior rooster, so we have very few issues. The senior rooster is a white leghorn/polish cross and the junior rooster is white leghorn/polish on the father's side and Brahma on the mother's side. Neither rooster is human aggressive or hard on the hens, although the younger one is coming out of his teenaged hormonal time just now. It's worked well so far.
