cockerel fights

[Folly's place]

Mine are sparring, but not causing injuries, and I'm letting them do their thing.
If it's too intense, and upsetting everyone, and/ or if injuries are happening, then separation would be a good choice.
Then, it will be necessary to rehome one of them, because they won't become better friends later.

I think we will have to keep only one. For now should I keep them separated or let them fight?

Separate the one you're not going to keep.
Do you have a plan for where he will go?

Just bite the bullet and learn how to turn them into Capon's, better meat that way if nothing else.

Are you experienced in this procedure?
It's not too common here in the US.

Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

I should probably do a video on the procedure. It's not hard and is an easy way to increase the value of your pasture raised meat birds.

People eat quail

People eat quail

And people eat bantam chickens, too.

But I don't think it would be worth the time and effort to caponize a bantam
