12 week old fighting?

Pictures are necessary. At 12 weeks the cockerels should be obvious.

I'm thinking you might have a bunch of roosters, now those will fight at that age. It would help to post some photos to see what you have.

I might just need to separate the golds from all of them? Maybe the golds are Roos? I've heard sometimes pullets will try to dominate the young Roos?

Mature hens will dominate cockerels. Pullets get abused by cockerels.

Here are the blue laced reds/splash these ones tend to start the picking and chasing.. I posted these yesterday and people say they look like pullets.. They are 10-12 weeks old give or take..

I really appropriate you all a input and help, thank you! i have learned that chicks are so difficult and it's driven me mad not knowing if they are roosters or hens! Lol and why they pick on each other so bad! I really suspect the blue reds are cockerels.. But I know Wyandottes can get a pink or red comb early making it hard to tell

I see a lot of cockerels.

I see a lot of cockerels.

x2, that's why you are having troubles.

I would be curious if the gold laced were hens or Roos.

That's what I figured that these blue laced red Wyandottes are Roos.. I don't have a pic at the moment of the golds, but they also have little red wattles.. The only ones I see that don't have much combs and wattles are the silver laced ones and the barred rocks, but I know for a fact the barred rocks are hens because of their markings

Looks like you will be having a lot of chicken dinners.
