Pecking order

Hi all me again So Boris (dark 1) and Ruby (whom I’m now assuming is a Ron) Keep having stand offs, they had a right flap off yesterday ended up snapping my tomato plant stem am I right to assume it’s because they’re both male and each are trying to ascertain dominance?
thanks

Most likely, yes.

You can minimize the drama/damage with space and clutter so one can get away from or avoid the other more easily.

Looks and sounds a lot like what my two 5-month-old baby roos spend their time doing. So, far, it hasn't turned vicious, maybe because Billie seems willing to concede that Pauley is the boss.

Love their names

Since they were unsexed Bantam chicks, I gave them -- and a third -- gender-neutral names. Billie, Pauley and Maxie are named in honor of three of my deceased friends. Odds being against me, only little Maxie turned out to be a girl.
