It is (I am guessing, for you) spring.

Such things happen in spring... raging hormones.

The question is .... was that one fight enough to set the pecking order... or will they keep going at it.

We have moved the other roo to another pen so they can not fight anymore. We have been meaning to do it for a while but we have been buzy.

Think roosters are bad, try Turkey Tom's. They will fight to the death to mount a hen.

That's why I have a Turkey Tom in solidarity confinement until this weekend. When he will become this year's Thanksgiving dinner.

We had five 6 month old toms and they fought a lot. Sadly, 2 of them were killed by a bobcat. And the other two.. were dinner.

Is he/she a Bourbon Red? I always wanted one of those.

Our current tom, Joseph Gobbles, is the most gentle tom we have ever had. Our last one was mean and aggressive he would rid feathers off the hens and once he almost attacked me, that is when he became dinner.

I've had some agressive Toms and they all we're very tasty. The Tom I have in solidarity confinement is agressive.

Any aggressive animals don't stay on our farm for to long.
