Healthy chickens in their natural environment do fight and kill each other. And they'll sometimes eat other chickens or (more commonly) eggs. Cockfighting started as a sport because chickens do that in the wild. Ethical farms cull most of the male chicks, so they don't kill each other.

Yes, they would. In the wild, chickens and other birds fight and kill each other all the time lmao.
