The neighbour was looking after the chicks (about 8 weeks old) for me until the new hen house was ready and on Sunday  she came down the garden with one cock  with a badly cut face, so he went in a large plastic box overnight in our garage.... the next night she arrived with another, that too was bleeding.... the next morning another arrived, this one was pouring blood.... so that left one male on it´s own with its Mum and 3 sisters.... at least we found out who the bad guy was!  So now all 4 males are at the neighbours up the road, he has quite a few free ranging hens.  I know they will end up being eaten, but it is better than cock fighting!
Didn´t realise they would fight at so young an age.
