Chicks explore their environment by pecking...sort of like puppies do with licking/chewing. I'd expect that this young it is more of an exploratory pecking (are YOU edible?) than a dominance thing.

I am having the same issue. I have 2 week old chicks and just received 4 more chicks that are only a few days old. Should I put them in the brooder with my 2 week old chicks or should I keep them separate? The temperature in my brooder is 85 degrees. Should I move the lamp down to raise the heat for the new chicks? My brooder is large so the 2 week old chicks could stay in the cooler areas. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
