wow about how old do they have to be until they show signs of agression?
he might be a big problem because both his females are very very agressive towars each other
when they lay their eggs and towards the phoenix hens when its feeding time..
can this be a sign that the biggest problem is soon to come?

Depends on the lines, some can mature as early as 3-4 months (I have even had two month old hatch stag (cockerels) have to be separated before). But on average 7-10 months is ideal. If kept in a pen it is usually sooner, but you mentioned you did some exercises? To keep him from being aggressive so that is probably what kept him at bay for now due to a older cock being above him. In a month or two though tops I would say that is going to change quickly if he isn't crossed.

i have had young chicks 2 or 3 weeks old if you seperate them and put them back they fight, the older cock right now has him bluffed it to thinking he is king , but when the younger one reliezes that he wants to be king ,it wont be long so , and it will happen just out of the blue

Sell him for what you feel is right, or just give him away to someone you know will treat them well or is wanting to get started in raising gamefowl. If I don't know the heritage, hens are usually 5-10 bucks each stag/cocks are 15-25, but I will also use these prices to get rid of them or just give someone who is new to them a good price (if I don't label them free). Some people will pay 50, or so for a stag/cock of unknown parentage (and could be a cross with something else, and not be a full game though I'm not saying he isn't) but this is high to me since you can get a quality pair from excellent breeders for 250 or so (though some are more/less, depends).
