Do roosters stop fighting after one beats up the other?

It is very unlikely that they will stop fighting for good. As soon as you leave, they will be back at it. It is best in these situations to let them try to decide pecking order while you are present. If the fight is over quickly and there is an obvious surrender from one of the roosters, then good.

This lowers their fertility.
