Roosters going at it.

[digger MN]

What can I do I got 11 hens and 2 roosters. The hens are laying 9 to 11 eggs each day. The two roosters got into it today when I was at work. The white one had a little blood on it when I went out to put them away for the night. So I looked around and found other rooster hideing in a corner of the coop. I picked him up and he was bleeding from all the combs and woggles he had. We no he lost. He is a RIR. Nice looking chicken I think, anyway I was going to put then out for the count but desided to let them be tonight. Will the hens get fighting if I off bouth roosters??????? Should I off one and keep the other?? Can not deside what to do. I also have 2 very young roosters 1 is a silkie the other allot bigger have no real idea what it is. It dose sound like a coyote houling at night when it crows. They are about 3 months old and by there selfs now. To off or not to off. HELP.

Thanks

They should settle down. The loser will be very submissive to the dominate cock for a while. And, the dominate cock will bully it as well. In time they will settle down and be ok around each other.
