Bloody fights

[Ray987]

Hello, I have about 26 chicks (10 weeks old) if I'm not wrong 15 of them are roosters they started fighting like a week or so and I've seen blood on the faces of some of them but today I saw this, poor thing lost some skin in that fight
This happened while they were free ranging so not a space issue idk why they fighting
I think it's one of them that's the most aggressive and starting most fights so thinking to isolate him and see how it goes, any tips recommendations?

How big is the space they are kept in while not free ranging? It might have happened while free ranging, but if you keep that many birds in too small of space they end up with a lot of aggression buildup that is just waiting to be released as soon as they have the space to do so.

That might be the issue then, the run is like 2 square meters only I guess I was supposed to move them in with the big chickens to the bigger run earlier

Yes at that small of space for that many that would be your issue right there.

I thought keeping them together even if space is small is better than putting them in the bigger run and get pecked on by bigger chickens guess i was wrong they did more harm to each others than a bigger chicken would do
