Thats the thing...i wasn't told what age they were when i brought them, so i have no clue what age they are now.

How long have you had them? A minimum age can be worked from that. If acquired as chicks, how long has it been since their voice changed?

I found one of the pics that that it took of one of the chicks (This could of been Nemo but may be the one that got taken by the snake) --i took the pic maybe 3 days after i brought them?. I have many pics of them--however i think one is enough to get a good idea on what age they were..

When was pic as chick taken?

 

[mustangrooster]

Roughly 3 or 4 months ago. Maybe a bit more, im honestly not to sure..

If birds are 4 months / 16 weeks old, then they are still juveniles. That means battles not likely to be sustained. Let them fight it out on neutral turf. Then place them in the same pen and add some structure make so they do not recognize pen. Make certain fighting still stopped.


This whole effort was like pulling teeth.

They could very well be 5 months, i have a tendency to forget how long i have new birds for. The reason i posted this thread was because they are young, and the point that they are fighting like this at such a young age has stumped me.

I have already tried that, but they are still fighting. But there was some progress today---they were by the water taking a drink together! We have progress...
