Roosters fighting

[mcdaid72000]

I know it is common for roosters to fight, but yesterday was the first time I really seen my two roosters Paul and Hei Hei really fighting each other. I have decided to separate them for the time being also plan to buy Pick-No-More at Tractor Supply to treat thier combs, but one of my friends was talking to me about chicken glasses(peck guard). I have never heard of them researched them a little yesterday, but unsure it it would help deter them from pecking/fighting each other. Not even sure where I would go buy chicken glasses(peck guard)? Any suggestions or advice would be appricated

Pin Less Peepers work to control feather pecking/plucking, but I doubt they will stop roosters from fighting. Given enough space to keep away from one another multiple roosters can survive in a flock. In an enclosed situation it becomes far more difficult.

I don't know the size of your flock but when roosters begin to fight to win dominance it's rare for it to stop. Both of them want to be the top dog and get rid of the other, and they may fight to the death. It's best to rehome one of the roosters especially if your space for them is limited. It's best for the roosters, and for you, to get rid of one rooster.

I have 2 roosters and 4 hens in a 10 ft x 10 ft fencing which has a coop. On top of fencing I have chicken wire to keep predators out. The 2 roosters are Faverolle and my 4 hens are Faverolle, Production Red, Blue Andalusian and a Barred Rock. Roosters were getting along alright until recently one Faverolle Rooster is 10 or more yrs old and the other Faverolle Rooster is 1 yr and 9 months old

In most instances that would be too tight. Once you tighten things up like that my approach is actually more roosters and usually removing hens as well. Easier approach is either get rid of a rooster or pen one in separate quarters.

I would say that it appears your younger rooster senses that he can "take over" from your 10 year old. I'd say he wants to rule the roost. You will have to keep them separated or the young'un will kill the old guy. There is not enough room for them both to rule over the hens. Either give one away or build a new coop and run and separate them forever.
