Our chicks are 8 weeks old now and we notice that they rub their beak across our hand fairly often. Does anyone know why they do this?

Great analogy - thanks!What I've seen is that they are cleaning their beaks, lol. They'll wipe them on you, like a little kid wiping his dirty hands on your clothes.
You may just be very lucky.Our chicks are 8 weeks old now and we notice that they rub their beak across our hand fairly often. Does anyone know why they do this?
Awww... they are really sweet little beings.You may just be very lucky.
I've seen a very few adult rooster do something similar with their favorite hens. Its not a peck, it's a stroke and when I've seen it it has had nothing to do with beak cleaning.
