My first ever aggressive game cockerels are coming of age. They started crowing a month or so ago. All are freerange with all of the room you can ask for. I stopped a fight between one and another breed rooster. 30 seconds later that same game cockerel was attacking another rooster. If it was simply establishing the pecking order I would have just let it play out but he was repeatedly running them down and jumping on them as they were running away forcing them to fight and run over and over. I've got him separated at the moment. My question is, do game roosters mellow out with age? I can understand fighting like that if they were locked in an enclose together but they have about 15 acres with woods and 2 ponds to roam.
The 2yo from the same breed, different breeder wasn't like that and treated other roo's like one of the guy's as long as they know he's top dog.
The other 2 cockerels I have from the problem child batch haven't acted as aggressive as the one "yet". Only pecking order behavior so far.
