Is it true that you can do this? Do they have to be completely isolated from a pen with hens in it. Can there be another rooster in the pen with the hens? Do they have to be out of sight, sound or smell of the hens?

my roosters get in fights if we dont put them on teathers atleast 2 feet away but some of the roosters are nice so they get put in a pen with 4 hens and another rooster. They don't have to be completely isolated if thats what oyur thinking they don't.

I certainly have 5 roosters and around 15 - 20 hens. For the main area they get alongside tremendously plenty. whilst theres a sparkling youthful guy, they'll run him off some circumstances, till the pecking order is firmly prevalent. they are all popular cochins, or cochin mixes, that are time-honored to be very comfortable nonetheless. My 2 concerns are a million)they are loud, i do no longer concepts crowing, yet some pals do. 2)it incredibly is not any longer uncomplicated on the hens having too many roosters - each so often they'll loose somewhat some feathers on their backs.

Most any combination of roosters and hens can get along together if the chickens grow up with each other. However, if you add a newcomer to the bunch. The group will pick on the chicken that was added to the group. Chickens will also pick on whichever chicken they think exhibits a sign of weakness in the group.
So really they are about like children. They pick on the new kid and they pick on the weak kid.

You can put several roosters in the same pen and will get along good. I would not put any more than 2-5 roosters in the same pen.

I depends partly on the breed of your roosters. Some are much more aggressive some will get along fine
