Fighting 2 month old Toms

[Cockadoodie]

I have 4 white breasted toms and 3 hens 2 mo old. They are such a delight to raise for the first time. They are huge, and I've separated my big guy from suddenly picking on another male aggressively when waking this morn. This is new behavior? Why and whats the fulltime remedy?

It's normal pecking order stuff. Once they get their differences settled, in other words, the youngsters get put in their place it will decrease. It will get really bad when breeding season comes around.

There is no such thiing as a White Breasted turkey. I assume that you have Broad Breasted Whites.

Normal pecking order

BBW are meat turkey and harvested 12 to 20 wks . If tried to kept as pets they tend to have leg and heart problems

Thanks, seems cruel to ignore but I understand... And far as what kind they are, I wasn't happy when i asked the tractor supply I purchased them at, because it didn't sound like a breed to me, white breasted? Makes ME sound stupid now do doesn't it? they are wonderful and solid white and getting huge fast. Thanks
