5-6 week old chicks fighting

[fanynany]

i have 4 baby chicks, 3 hatched and 1 given to me to raise , recently crickets( a rooster im assuming because of his comb and wattles, oh and sings) has been getting aggressive, i think i have another rooster but he’s been calm, crickets sees him and starts fighting everyone, everyone is calm but crickets, what can i do? he got bitten at when my other rooster was defending himself and i don’t want him to get hurt, this behavior started recently but he’s always been like a mom to them since he’s a couple days older. Is there any way to fix this behavior? i know roosters usually don’t get along but what can i do ?

She looks like a game crossed with maybe brown leghorn.

The dark blue one looks like the only boy.

Pullets can display aggressive behavior towards one another too, it's not strictly a cockerel behavior.

They should work things out soon. To me it sounds like them settling their pecking order.

he’s actually around 7-8ish weeks, the others hatched around half week or so later, he was given to me to raise
