I got my birds in May. I am down to 22 hens and 2 roosters, Big Jim and Jacques. Prior to this week, there was an established order between the two roosters but no major fights. Big Jim, the alpha would merely run off Jacques or make him wait until last to eat. This week, the tides have turned and we have had two bloody battles. Jacques is now obviously the alpha. I have several questions.
1) Will they eventually kill each other?
2) Should I get rid of one rooster? Can two roosters get along?
3) Should I separate Big Jim (behind his comb there is a gash) until he is healed?
4) Is this just a "springtime" thing?
