Other than separating them, I don't know how you can prevent it entirely.

i thought they might of been to young to act that way guess i was wrong lol

I've had cockerels as young as a couple of weeks old doing the chest-bump thing. At that age, it's rather amusing watching them pretend to be tough guys!

They may calm down with age and sort out this boss and who's sub or they might just keep fighting, If it becomes to much of a problem then separate them or remove one from the equation

Ya im not to worried about it they will be put in a huge run with a decent coop when they get older and i get enough time to fix it up and make it more secure.

Not sure if it's an optical illusion from the way the pic was taken, but that comb is HUGE for 6 week old!!
What breed bird is it?
