For the last few days I’ve noticed my now three week old chicks have been shaping up to each other and fighting like roosters, jumping up and lashing out with their feet. Just wondering if female chicks normally do this too or if I’ve probably got all roosters? 🐓 Thanks 😊
 
I thought all my chicks were roosters when they started doing that and my heart skipped a beat!!! They're figuring out the pecking order, just keep an eye out that none of them are taking it too seriously and drawing blood. After awhile the fighting just turns into an appropriately placed peck.
