fighting baby roosters

[thebanthams]

I find it strange that my two four month old roosters are actually trying to kill each other ! I have other roosters grew up together and will fight here and there , but nothing like this ! they are both silky cross. whats up with that?

just separate them give them each some hens. try and split the hens evenly. then they will have their "own" hens. Good luck!!!!!

I let them go. I refuse to separate them because it creates more work for me trying to separate the coop and run. One of them has to back down and come to terms with being the beta male. Once this hierarchy is established they should no longer fight...much.

I am hoping the fight will end soon. will see what happens part two.

fighting got so bad That the others chickens dont like this one chick ! The one they are fighting with turned out to be pullet. the rooster was not mating her at all, He was so mad at her for some reason, and before I know it the others are mad at her ! I find it strange ! They kinda of stopped, I may have to move her, she is so worn out , I think because of the hot weather. I have 6 mixed breed chickens, and this one is like the "ugly" duckling story.

yep m they sure will if its not dark in the coop they will peck and peck her once she bleeds the others may join in chickens are attracted to blood so i suggest you split them up in either make it super dark or leave her out of there for a few days and at night put her in there sit her on the roost by another chicken. in they will peck her during the day but that's because she is at the bottom of the pecking order list in they may not let her eat so just give her food by herself still in the cage and watch her. they will or might chase her because she is at the bottom of the pecking list. that's how mines do. now if they peck her don't get up tight about it let them its part of the pecking list now if it gets to where they trap her and each take turns pecking her then take her out in get new chickens and put them in there with her they do better in groups way better. in leave em in there for a few days in the fighting and all that should calm down!!

here are my young girls they do get pecked but they do aokay in the cage remember what i told you!!
