Silkie roosters

[Athiena14]

Right now I have a splash rooster about 18weeks old. This weekend a farm i live by is selling me thier 4 silkies but with an issue. One is an older rooster. It was a take all or none deal. I'm also grabbing a few other older hens that aren't silkies.

I only have one area right now for them that is partially free range.

Could I possibly have both roosters? I have had instances when I had my old flock where I was able to add another rooster, but that was if I was changing out roosters after about a month of bringing in the new (month after quarantine. )

Just wanting your opinions on this.

Oh when I say older hens I mean laying already but less than a year old

You can try but.......have Plan B in place.
How do you plan on integrating the new birds?
Hope you have lots of space.

I usually put a new rooster In a large dog kennel for thier safety and put them in the large area with the other rooster outside.

Any sign of aggression i do have someone that will take one
