ROO CRAZIES

[A HappyHenLover]

My two younger roosters keep attacking each other! What do I do? They've bloodied up each others combs/wattles. Help. I've separated them but then put them back together (thought they'd behave) and they won't stop.

Hi! I suggest you separate them, but don't put them back in together. They might kill each other. You may want to consider rehoming one. Sorry. That's all I can say for fighting roosters.

Are they with pullets or hens? Sometimes cockerels who are raised together from chicks will get along. If these two were raised together, I would separate them from the girls, and they may get along in a bachelor pen. I would be choosing the one I wanted to keep, because it sounds like they are not going to co-exist. If you are keeping one of the cockerels with an older rooster, do not separate that cockerel because the older rooster will not accept him later. That's just my experience.

With hens. They were raised together, all of a sudden they decided to fight!


Thanks for the suggestions.
