Yes. An individual rooster can "manage" up to about 15 or 20 hens so if you have a flock of more than that and want viable eggs then you would need more than one rooster.

Roosters will square off against each other and there will be some turf wars but these usually settle down with one being the dominant bird. He gets his "pick" of the hens and the other guy gets to pick from rest of them. In a large flock of chickens it is usually best to introduce the "new" rooster as a young bird...If he grows up under the eye of the top cockerel he will less likely be the sole target of attention by the "boss bird".

you can have two roosters in the same coop as long as they get along, ive had two roosters that were like brothers and got along perfectly but ive had some that all they did was fight. so it all depends on how they act together.

No. you have to separate 2 roosters, or else...they'll be fighting and fighting and eventually 1 will over shadow the other or even death. Also it's probably best when you separate them that each of the 2 roosters have some hens with them to keep them company or else it'll be calling and stressing for the hens to come over to him.

Yes It will take a day or two and a bit of fighting but a rooster will not harm the hens.

yes, but it depends on their temperment and how many hens are with the group. if the roosters are aggrressive towards you, then they will be worse towards a rival rooster.

if the three roosters are separated, yes. But if you mean living in the same house and all that Sorry, but no. Otherwise your three roosters will fight to death.

I have a hen and 2 roosters a white rooster mated it one week and the red one is mating it now The hen started laying eggs when the eggs are hatched chicks belong to which rooster white or red?

It could be from either or both. The rooster deposits a sperm packet into the hen when mating and this slowly releases sperm as needed. One mating with an individual hen can last as long as ten days before needing to be replaced. Sperm from a second rooster would also be present. So, the hen could be producing fertile eggs from both roosters

Roosters needs are not much different than that of hens. Things to keep in mind: 1. Roosters pecking order is very important to their health, both mentally and physically. 2. Roosters live to protect and lead the flock and will gladly die to defend the hens. 3. Weaker roosters must be separated from aggressive roosters as they can be hurt or killed. 4. Roosters need hens, 5 or more should keep them happy. 5. Most important, they need food and water.

Why are 2 chickens that are the gentlest picking fights with your 2 roosters?

It is likely that the roosters are aggressive, too rough with the hens, or that there are not hens in ratio to the amount of roosters.


You have 3 roosters and 2 hens who have always got along The hen has been separated for 2 months while having baby chicks you let the hen back out and now the two oldest roosters are fighting violent?

The problem described here is that,since chickens have a social order that is called the "pecking order",,and you have CHANGED that order by temporary removal of one of those that were originally in that "order". Now the NEW "pecking order" must be RE-ESTABLISHED. This is done by FIGHTING.
