General lee 979 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm no expert mate and improbably wrong but as long as they have the right food clean water and are warm it isn't a bad sign they are fighting depending on the breed of course means they are healthy and got plenty of energy what are they by the way?

leey 26 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Some crosses do fight very early just keep an eye on them or try separate them because the last thing you want is canibal hens.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sounds like they need more space..... You could try a pollystyrin block they peck at like mad and if they eat any it carnt hurt them.... Never Tryed it myself but heard it works..... UK 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
