Emergency plz help

[dannyd21]

My two golden comets are fighting each other at sight. I have 6 hens and the two that are fighting are going for the comb, earlobes, waddles, etc. I don't know what to do or why they're fighting they've been together since they were chicks and never had a problem before. They have plenty of water, food, and space so I don't know whats going on. It all happened so randomly and I really need help.

How old are they? Without pictures or any other information, I’d venture a guess that you have two maturing cockerels.

Maybe separate them for a while?

theyre 10 months and what kind of pictures do you need?

Clear, close up full body pictures, front to back, comb and wattles, pictures of the neck feathers - especially around the base of the neck, pictures of the saddle feathers and pictures of their tails. OR, look closely at these two birds. Are their combs and wattles larger than those of your other birds? Are the feathers longer, thinner and more pointy around the base of the neck and tail as compared to the more rounded ones on the ones who aren’t fighting? What do the tail feathers look like? Long, curved and pointy or not?

Well they're girls. Some scuffling even with hens isn't unusual, so I wouldn't be too concerned as long as it wasn't constant or causing injury.

Do both of them happen to be laying? If not (or if they just started), hormones could be a factor as they begin laying or come back into lay.

Hehe. Today I just saw one of my white leghorns bite anothers comb and then yanked it out of the nest. They are just starting to lay again after their winter break.
