One of my 3 week old chicks almost always pecks the wall of their box, I am wondering if there is anything wrong with her?

Lol! There is nothing wrong with the bird. They explore with their beaks and can see colors and light wavelengths that we can't. There is something there of interest to her.

you don't have fluorescent lights on in the room do you? it's like a disco ball to them, makes 'em crazy.

Lol we have one who does that too. The kids named her nimrod from Mr. Poppers Penguins.

Lol, the only light is a red heat lamp and the other babies don't do it. Never thought she might be having fun with it! Thanks
