Do you mean as far as them still fighting when/if they are older? Well, since this is new to me, and the fighting is new as of today, I considered building a smaller banty coop. I would like to eventually have more chickens, so another smaller coop would be easy to do.

Thanks all!
debiraymond & Mahonri, you two seem like two peas in a pod! LOL!! Hijackers unite! Maybe we should open a hijackers thread, a support group if you will!!
debiraymond - thanks! I'm Ok with hijacking...we all do it at some point!

My Jersey Giant! They are almost 3 weeks old. I am in almost a panic over this. It started last night around 3 a.m. Lots of loud chirping, and squawking. I have their brooder in my bedroom, so I can keep my eye on them. I noticed my banty and JG stretching their necks out sort of challanging...
Hi everyone!
I have 4 chicks so far, 1 Barred Rock,1 Jersey Giant, 1 Americana and 1 Seabright banty(I think). They have become my obsession! For a while I thought I was going chicken cookoo, until I started reading threads here and realized I am not the only one!
