7 week old cockerels fighting

[chickenfan]

I have three well-grown 7.5-week old marans cockerels (no hen chicks in the brood) that are fighting badly. Is this a phase they go through, or do things get worse from here? They have been fighting for over a week and I'm not sure what to do about it. I hope this doesn't mean they will be fiesty cockerels.

It sounds like normal behaviour to me chickenfan they should settle down eventually when they accept their rankings.

they should settle down, however ive had a few maran cocks over the years and they have been the most troublesome and vicious ive ever owned
