I own 2 Roosters & 1 Hen, Today I was checking up on them and I noticed, 1 Rooster had some scratches and bleeding (injuries) on his crown and around his eye, the other, had very few scratches, almost nothing at all. Me and my mother took care of each of them and washed them up, disinfected them and gave them food, I know they used a ton of energy on the matter so I gave them some watermelon. They are currently separated, 1 In a cage and 1 out, We both think that the Rooster (with the most injuries) caused/started It, when we fed them, the other Rooster (little to no damage) was scared and ran when the other Rooster came close to eat. I don't know what to do, do I leave both of the Roosters out and settle? Do I separate them for a while? And what should I do If this occurs again?
 
How old are they? This will likely get worse as they are fighting over one hen, then need at least 11 more hens, but even that might not fix it.
They are close to 3 months of age, I know this sounds weird, especially because I know Rooster fights happen when they are much older.
 
Not necessarily, 12 weeks is the beginning of hormones for many birds
Didn't know that! Do you know what I should do about all this? I would also like to Note that all 3, have been acting very distant and off lately, do you think It was from the Rooster Fight?

You think? Is there any reason on why I should remove a Rooster?
The reason being the issue you posted for.
You should remove both, for the good of your hens.
