How old are your cockerels? It is a heavy cockerel to hen ratio in my humble opinion ???
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

she is obviously their favoured hen and she will soon be thread bare at this rate. You really do have too many boys - or not enough girls if you look at it the other way  ;). It also sounds like you have 2 dominant boys and not one top boy so really I would remove one of them.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I really don't think they like her, they never jump on her apart from the one who doesnt chase her, the R.I.R is coming up to 6 months and he chases her, and then the other one who chases her is about a year and a bit :/
