Chook Me!

Will roosters of the same breed fight if i put them in a pin together?

Im getting 3 or 4 roosters of the same breed from a guy they are free ranged birds just walking around doing what they do together and there not in a pin or anything and they dont fight now so if i put them in a pin together will they fight?

1. yes to the death
2. they may or may not. I have had 3 roosters together and them did not fight. By the way the word is pen not pin.
3. its illegal for have farms chickens and roosters to have fights for only money or drugs. its also in new york and california has very illegal laws cant not have roosters fights . you can get $ 500.00 fine or go to jail for doing something like that .
4. yes it dosent matter what breed its just an instinct it cant easily be broken
5. Assuming they are not the fighting breeds. If the roos are brothers or hatchmates and grew up together they will be less likely to fight one another. If they were on the same farm for a while they learned to get along or established a pecking order. If you put them in a pen, which is more confined than being free-ranged, they will likely fight or peck for a few days to re-establish a pecking order. Often things will settle down. I'll assume they will not be competing for females in the same pen or ones that are in sight. Just keep an eye on them, look for wounds, listen for prolonged screeming etc.
