Looking forward to getting advice from experienced flock owners.

Welcome! Thanks for introducing yourself. Do you have chickens at the moment?

 

[Boonie822]

Yes we have chickens and ducks. Raised from babies last year. Yesterday we had a huge problem happen. Our two roosters who have been friendly started fighting. We have one chicken in a kennel at the moment, he was the one who got beat up. We don't know what to do! Never a problem before. Ant help and advice is greatly appreciated.

How many hens do you have for those roosters? And how many coops.
I don’t have roosters but all the people I have seen who keep multiple roosters successfully have enough hens for each of them and enough space that they can create their own tribe.

Salve (Latin for hello)! I have two roosters that fight as well, so they have to take turns free ranging. The other rooster has to stay in his particular coop (I have two separate coops). Hope your injured rooster feels better soon!

We have one spacious coop, and large run for them. Eight hens, two roosters. Never any aggression before at all.
