Cockerels fighting
« on: August 31, 2010, 06:24:03 pm »
Hi I have 2 cockerels left from the April hatch and they've started to fight. I plan to keep 1 and 1 is for the pot but he's no where near ready. Do I seperate him on his own in a stable for fattening? I have to do something but seems cruel keeping him on his own. I don't want to put hens with him as they'll have to be reintroduced but if they keep up someone is going to get really hurt. What do others do?
