We only keep one rooster no matter how many hens because of fighting. As soon as the one rooster gets to aggressive with us and especially the little kids he goes to the soup pot.
That’s maybe not a direct answer to your question but that’s what we do.
Really the only way for multiple roosters to get along is for each to have their own tribe so 1 rooster and a couple hens per coop.
You will need to get rid of 2 roosters.
i will make soup of the jersey mix and maran and keep the brahma mix, he's the biggestI had two brothers with my hens one year without any problems.
Another time I had two brothers and their dad with the hens. Everything was fine until one day there was blood everywhere.
Consider 2 times:

yes and i think it's less stressful for the whole flock isn't it?Roosters do fight, we only have one as well.
thanks for your advice, and yes this is the only solution that i found.There will always be one dominant. I have a father and son with 15 hens. The son is the boss. But each one has their selected hens that they like. I have only ecountered one scrap when Beckie won the fight there was peace. Because your roosters are different breeds it may cause a few pecking order issues. Keep the one you most think will improve your flock.
omg... can they get that agressive??We had father and son roosters together. Father was mean and son wasn’t. One day the son had had enough bull from his dad and just about killed him. That’s why we only keep one anymore.
well... i'm going to get rid of the 2 roosters as soon as possibleYes. We’ve had lots of other roosters that would attack us too.
It does make a happier flock when you have 1 rooster.
glad you did that, i processed the first rooster and soon i will process the secondI have 5 roosters, all brothers, hen raised. Four are in one coop and one is with the hens in another coop. This morning two of them were very bloody. I separated them into two areas and that settled them somewhat. So my plans changed for today. I had to process four roosters. Good thing it was a wonderful day outside. Sunny, calm and well above normal temperatures. But cleaning chickens --- what a stupid job!
Now I have one rooster. And the neighbours will be happier
