Well my advise is do not seperate them
maybe get their living quarters out side ready and put them into it
What had you really thought to do with them when they are older?

They then put in the new building or pen would both be new to it and then get on with the problem of who is boss

surely the bantam which breed is it
can't do that much harm ot a jersey giant large fowl.
But it may be a male and doing what males want to is exerting his position to the jersey giant
hopefully you don't seperate them as that will make more pressure on the jersey giant

If put outside in their new home you could give them some nice dark greens what they eat in 39045 minutes and distract them from fighting

Do you mean as far as them still fighting when/if they are older? Well, since this is new to me, and the fighting is new as of today, I considered building a smaller banty coop. I would like to eventually have more chickens, so another smaller coop would be easy to do.

As I stated before, I am just trying to get the opinions of everyone here to see if my thoughts on the situation are appropriate. My animals are very important to me, and either situation seems cruel. Leave them together and let the banty scream and peck and pull feathers, or separate them secluding the banty.

I will just keep watching. I agree that when in the coop they may be more likely to forget the whole thing because there will be more to do. Crossing my fingers!
