Hiya!

First. Of. All.

Welcome to the best chicken forum on the internet!

And this is in the wrong section, but I will answer your questions anyways.

Second, in my rooster experience, if the roosters are fighting they will not resolve the problem until one of the two is mentally crushed and/or killed. Sounds cruel, but is the truth. So the only way to fix that is separating them or getting rid of one. Either way they have to be separated if you want the fighting to stop.

Or they could duke it out - but I wouldn't recommend that.

If the Brahma's are not staying in, then they have found a way out. I would suggest finding how they are getting out, then fix it. Most likely they could be flying out - you could buy some PVC, tie it to posts, and purchase some cheap netting to string around the top. Because of the PVC tied to fence posts you can make it as tall as you need it. Thats a cheap and junky looking solution. But its worked for me on several occasions (I've had luck with it and deer in gardens).

So wherever your chickens get out, fix it up good, so you can keep them where you want them. Sometimes just getting rid of all the patches and building new stuff is worth consideration.

 

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Here is a BYC article on clipping wing feathers https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/how-to-clip-trim-the-wings-of-your-chicken-to-prevent-flight

 

Some chickens are still able to fly after wing clipping. There are some who think clipping just one wing is better because it throws the bird off balance. For myself, I would rather rely on runs with a permanent top.

Also check for anything the rooster, etc. can be using as a step up, to help him get over the fence- usually heavy breeds can't get manage lift off on their own.

 

Welcome to BYC. Have you considered putting a top on your pen?
