Aggressive Chick

[KikiLeigh02]

I have 4, 4 week old Black Australorps. 2 a very clearly cockerels, 1 is a hen, and 1 is a wait and see but I'm pretty sure it's another cockerel *sigh*. My question is the one cockerel has gotten way bigger than everyone else in the last week and he is getting really aggressive to the other chicks. Would it be ok if I put him by himself, or any other tips? I have someone that wants the extra roosters but not until their a little bigger. I have them with my two Lavender Orpington Pullets who are a few weeks older. I'm going to move them to a separate cage inside the coop/run with my big girls this weekend, will that help maybe?

Aggressive behaviors in chicks is often because they need more room and stuff to do, so definitely get them moved out.

Unless one is getting hurt, I dont worry about it to much, do give them more space,,, places to hide out, places to eat/drink

Ok! Thank you both! It's been a week since I took the two older pullets out and that really seemed to calm them down.
