It is not recommended that they are kept together. Rooster can grow some pretty fierce spurs on their legs that can be leathal in a schuffle. Roosters can be very territorial, especially if there are hens around. They are not trained fighting roosters you can keep em together, a little bickering will happen, just like a bunch of dogs u can have more then one male. they should not fight sence theygrew up together

Is it unhealthy for two roosters to live side by side where they can see each other but live alone so that they won't fight and how do you make roosters stop fighting?
Make Roosters Stop FightingIf you let them run in the yard, they will fight it out until they figure out who the strongest rooster is. After that, they will keep their space and mioght fight every so often, but it will not be very serious. Keeping them close to each other where they can see each other but not fight may actuly increase their hostility toward each other.Trying to stop roosters from fighting is like trying to stop them from crowing. It can not really be done. The kindest thing is to rehome one of the roosters to someone with a group of hens so he can have his own territoryhey...i have been breeding chickens for years now and i find that a fare bit of friction between roosters depends on breeds and circumstances. i used to have two roosters...they hated each other from the moment they saw each other. while another two figured out the pecking order and got along perfectly...in the same pen...with shared hens. i currently have three roosters...they grew up together and are inseparable. so it can be done but it cannot be forced. there is nothing you can do, just keep an eye on them and see how they get on. PoultryTalk's Answer:I raise gamefowl and you cant stop them from fighting, its in their instinct even though people lie and say it isn't. Dont believe me, get a few young baby chicks and raise em on the yard. Do whatever you want and they will still fight. Laying type chickens are easier to keep together. But still on occasion will fight.

Do you separate boy chickens?
Yes. As cockerels (As Male Chickens Younger than a year are referred to) grow into Roosters they begin to become sexually mature. Roosters, if not seperated when they are fully grown will begin to fight. The reason the Roosters fight is because they want to become top of the pecking order (you can research this more if you wish) but mainly want to become the leader of the flock so they have all rights to the hens. Any other Male is considered an 'intruder' wanting to battle over the rights of owning the flock. If two Roosters are placed together they will fight and often to the death. This is why you must separate Male Chickens to ensure they don't fight and become aggressive.

Can 4 roosters hens ducks geese all live together?
Yes and no. First off most will tell you it is best to have an odd number of roosters in a flock. Not an even number. Ducks & geese are messy birds. So they make dry bedding wet which chickens dislike. Hope this helps!
Does the chicken have a rectum?
No. Both male chickens (roosters) and female chickens (hens) have cloacas, a combination of sexual and excretory organs. Chickens mate by positioning their cloacas together, and the male immediately dumps sperm into the female. *There is a small internal bump where the rooster's sperm is released, called a papilla.

Can 2 roosters live together?
There is a pecking order among all breeds and varieties of chickens that is like the steps on a ladder. This pecking order applies to both males and females. The top male in a flock or group picks on ALL the males below him and the second male in line picks on all the remaining males below him etc. etc. The same pecking order exists with females in the same fashion. Once a pecking order has been established within a group or flock, there will be little if any fighting as every chicken knows his or her place within the order. If a new male or female is introduced into the flock, he or she must establish a position or place in the pecking order which usually means there will be some fighting between the new male or female and other members of the flock until a new order is determined. So no, they cannot exactly live together without fighting. However, the fighting is rarely to the point of injury, much less death, unless the breed has been developed selectively for this trait, as fighting gamecocks have. It is not a tendency found in nature. Most farmers will recommend keeping a ratio of at least seven to eight hens for every one rooster. Alternatively, there will be virtually no fighting if only roosters are kept, as there is no competition for mates.
