2 chicks fighting!

[Gypsy07]

I have had two DAY old chicks squaring up and trying to flog each other with their teeny tiny non existent little fluffy 'wing' stumps.
And yes, they were both roos. They get on fine as adults now and usually roost side by side in the coop.

I just got the giggles, as I've seen that too, with the babiest of chicks. I went to work and told a co-worker I had a miniature "cock fight" in the brooder - the only acceptable kind!

I watched four ten day old Leghorn chicks tussling last night. Right serious about it too.

Until I put the feeder of fresh feed in. Then they moved on to more important business...

thanks for all the input guys!! and as i type...the same 2 just went at it again!! one i would think is a hen since she's got a lot of tail feathers....the other a roo since he has no tail feathers yet. just a pre-mature guess on my part.
