Can Highflyers/Tippler Live With Sattinettes

[hamza syed]

I want to know that can sattinettes live with highflyers/tipplers . my sattinettes when i release them in the loft with my highflyers they start to fight and sattinettes starts to be the head of all of them. they take over all the nest boxes which don't have eggs/ybs (cuz their parents are their to defend them).. there's a big fight. i have remove them.. how can i keep them together as tippler/highflyers should have contact with the droppers.. i have tried to keep them in a cage in the loft for 3 weeks but when ever i release them the same thing happens..

[tipllers rule]

it could be an isolated situation so i would seperate them and only conjoin when flying

thanx for the reply tipllers rule

[satinette tippler]

let them breed (sattinettes and the tipplers/highflyers both of them) and try to keep their ybs together they will keep peace between themselves...

[hamza syed]

i can try with young ones but i don't want to many breeding pairs and with to many squabs and yb's it will get crowded ....

[polo963]

yea let them fight and settle there dispute, they'll develope there hierarchy and everything should be good, but as droppers u probably wouldnt want to breed too many satinettes.

[tipllers rule]

i would listen to s&t i mean he has the birds breed in its name

if i let them fight. there is big chance of wounds on heads and other places as the fight is between breeding pairs of tipplers/highflyers and satinettes. the others are (which are not breeding) will fly away when satinettes come to their nests/perches.. i agree with u polo963, i don't want to many of both tipplers/highflyers and satinettes ...

I have my satinettes with my homers and tipplers. They do have to set up there own pecking order like polo963. They all will settle down. If your worried about the ones with squabs close the best box so it isn't open to the Sat's. They will find there own space and everyone will work around it. Hope this helps.

[hamza syed]

thanx logangrmnr, i will try doing that...(to close the nest boxes)
there are many space but i don't know what is in their mind ( i think they want to occupy every nest-box)

[polo963]

let them them fight, but not like too the death or anything jus enough for one to prove dominance, but bullying is another matter.

then what will u do u will try to separate them rite?

and here the same thing most of them will accept but there are same who wont accept them as leader so non of them can prove their dominance. as i care more about the satinittes. they are fancy breed and have short beak (the new oriented frills) .. i leave them(satinittes) in front of my eyes everyday for an hr so when i'm in the loft ... if there is any kind of big fight i'm their to help them...

[polo963]

ohh okay, i see what u mean but those cocks are bred to fight it in there genes they fight for no reason to prove nothing, but whn my FOR cock n Damascene cock fought it was only until on bird fell of the ledge. then alittle later they fight again but not killing or even damaging

[hamza syed]

i know they a bred for fighting, i have/ had those as my family(almost all of them) is more interested in those... the pic below is my first fighter cock..

one of the pair (satinettes) became friendly so i let live together with tipplers/highflyers today but the other pair still want to fight ...
