probably just a backyard stag fight, because he didnt pen them in time... Unless you can see tal tell signs of knife punctures. 

Take it easy

So I have two clutches of chicks that were both weaned this past week. They are free range and have grown up together. One clutch is 4 weeks and the other is 5 weeks. Yesterday while closing up the coops for the night, I noticed that the dominant stags from each clutch must have had it out yesterday. I guess my question is what to make of it? They are so young and have been together. Would you consider it good bad or indifferent at this age?

I say good, I have to separate them at 4 and 5 weeks every year.

Thanks for your input flypen! I have not had to separate them this young, but usually by about 7 weeks or so.

Somewhere in the quail size range they'll start and sometimes before I can tell the stags from the pullets.

I've got 64 chicks on the ground with 21 eggs hatching next week. Weather has been terrible all week. Highs in the 50s and rain. All chicks are doing well despite the cold and rain.
