I know this is a lot to read but I want to make sure I give all information.
Basically, males are way too aggressive and today i woke up with females with busted heads and no male.
So I was originally giving 10 hatchling. 5 of them, 2 weeks older than the other 5. They were kept next to each other but with a fence separated the little ones. When they started reach sexual maturity I had one male from the older group doing what males do until he busted the females heads open. So he was put by himself. Then they were all moved out to a chicken coop outside. About 7x7 with a indoor part, a run and a nest box. (I know they don't use nest box, it was turned into a sand box)
It started happening again, females with their heads busted open. I went through found another male. He was again separated. I woke up today to it worst than anything. I looked again and can not find a male. I checked for foam as they are all different colors I can tell by that.
Other info, they eat, game bird crumbles with seed mix, meal worms, and veggie scraps(if I have them). I got them all frome the same lady who says she doesn't have it happen to her. But try separating them by color?
I'm honestly lost as to what to do. At this point. I have pictures of everyone, if need be.
