Hi    :wave: Marian
I have had this before, with mine - it was because of the fact that I had still got females in the group and the boys were growing UP!!
I had to separate the boys from the girls and that solved the problem for me :turkey: :turkey:
                                                                                                           :turkey: :turkey: :turkey: :turkey: :turkey:-The males get really aggressive with each other, leading up to  full scale fighting -I had to literally brake up the brawl to stop mine them killing each other!!
