What age do roosters start to fight?

In: Chickens and Roosters [Edit categories]

Answer:

Cockerels will start to jump and play fight at about 4 weeks old, sometimes before that. The males are much more aggressive than the pullets. They run and jump for no apparent reason, they also bully the others by pushing and shoving.
