Bantam Roos Attacking each Other help!!! "Graphic Pictures"

[Cackling Hen]

Ok so I have had these 2 since they were 3 days old. Last week they fought pretty bad so I seprated them for a week. I let them out and for a week or so they where fine Today this is what they did to each other Will they always fight now? I have cleaned them up and dont know what to do there gunna kill each other

Guess that's why they do cock fighting... ewww. That's yucky and very sad looking. Poor guys.

They will literally fight to the death, so make sure and keep them separated from now on or get rid of one of them. It's instinct with males and they will not tolerate each other. I have roosters here (3) that have been together for the past year and have done fine up until recently. If I hadn't separated them, they would have killed each other and only the "top roo" would have been left...

I have 2 OEGB that won't stop fighting with each other. I just keep them in separate pens.

Thank you all I guess its time to either make a choice who stays or make them seperate pens I feel so bad man can they fight had to break them up It was awful

I had two roos together for two years and they did fine. However, I had a lot of hens and alot of room. This is not the norm. Once they start the fighting, it will not stop until one of them submits or is dead. And even if he does submit, the other may not leave him alone. You need to separate them or find a home for one of them.

Why not build separate runs for them and switch off the days you let them free range? That's what I do here and it works fine, or I put one flock up and let another out later in the day
