I have 3 toms. (Got 2 that were supposed to be female) They are about 6 months old and have always gotten along great....until recently. They have started fighting. Questions:
How do I know when it gets too serious?
Should I seperate them?
Is it going to get bad in the spring?
I really want them to stay together but I don't want them to really hurt each other.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
I currently have two toms, and they fight occasionally, but not overmuch. One is the dominant male and is always showing off his tale feathers, the other less so.

I figure that if they are actually trying to kill each other or causing serious damage, then it's time to seperate them. Otherwise, boys will be boys and enjoys a little tussle now and then.
 
they should stop as soon as they get pecking order figured out. Only need to to intervene if it gets real bad and they won't stop and one could die. For the most part they will get it figured out soon and be just fine till you bring in a hen or two.
