2 week olds jumping on each other?

[Featherwisp]

Hi all.
Yesterday, I witnessed a strange behavior in my little flock...
when they all get excited or worked up (either over food, or hearing my voice) they start getting jumpy. They like to jump up in the air, flap their little wings, and land on each other. It dosnt seem aggressive, its almost like they like to scare each other. They do not peck at each other or any other act of cannibalism.
What are they doing this for? Any ideas?

Are they just establishing a pecking order, or are they just excited?

Thanks!

Establishing the pecking order. Isn't it cute?

Mine would get all bunched into a corner and then there was always one (not always the SAME one) who would be off over by the food or water. Anyway the loner would take a running leap and "cannonball" right into the middle of the clump. then they would all mill around and then someone else would be the cannonball. It still cracks me up when they do that.

Mine are doing it more now they are past 4 weeks. I watched when one jumped into a pile of sleeping chicks and woke them all up. She was not nice
