This spring my clutch of 6 hens was killed by a weasel, so I got 6 chicks. They were supposed to all be hens, but I ended up with 2 roosters. Now, I have 4 hens (2 white rocks and 2 silver laced wyandottes), and 2 roosters (1 white rock and 1 wyandotte). The 2 roos had a big fight, so big that the wyandotte hid on the roof of the coop. That was about 2 weeks ago. I haven't seen any other signs of them fighting, but the hens are picking on one of the other hens and the wyandotte roo is picking on all the other hens. Help! How can I stop all this?
(I can't let them outside right now because theres a fox lurking around. The coop is big enough for 6 hens, but maybe the roosters are getting territorial?)
