The chicks are fighting!
« on: September 20, 2010, 21:39 »
Two of my chicks have decided that as they are all grown up at 5 weeks its time to fight constantly!

Now, not having had chicks before, is this just normal pecking order sorting or are they slighty unhinged or possible cockerals??

quite normal they are just sorting out their order. Both boys and girls will fight between themselves, just stay on hand to sort out anything that goes too far and have your purple spray handy  :)

My chicks fought too.  One poor little girl hid in the hen house most of the time, until finally she stood up for herself and the fighting stopped.
