Fighting Roos

[Redhousecoops]

How much (if any) fighting can I tolerate between roosters? I have 5 1 yo roosters who all grew up with each other and they get along for most of the day until the evening they start getting in matches. I try to break it up when I see it but obviously I can’t be around at all times. Sometimes they draw blood and sometimes they just jump up and down a few times and are done. I don’t like seeing them fight each other. I was going to try to give them away but I don’t like the idea of potentially giving them to cock fighters or a inhuman situation... should I just cull them myself?

Invite them to 'dinner'.
That's what I do with all my extra cockerels, by about 16 weeks, before they start fighting and/or harassing the girls.
Wondering if your females are being 'over-mated' too.

Not sure of your goals or chicken philosophy, but you only need one male if you're going to hatch more birds. Otherwise it's all personal preference.
