Babies fighting

At only 10 weeks, I agree the brown bird pictured last is your only pullet. It's quite rare for birds of this age to fight that severely, though, even males housed together. How much space do they have? My first thought is it's from overcrowding, not a gender issue.

Agreed - it looks like a lovely space you took the photos in, but is that where they spend the majority of their time? If not, what is the area they do spend most of their time in like?

It's hard to get a full photo, but they go through a flap into an undercover area where they shelter from the rain. I usually keep them in this yard ( which is bigger than it looks in the photos) until they are old enough to go free range. They haven't had another fight yet, I'm keeping a watch, although the first white one, Daisy, (I guess a name change is on the agenda) seems to have established himself as boss.
