3 Week Golden Wyandottes

[Torchick2004]

Wondering if behaviour of roosters is evident at 3 weeks. Picked up 4 little chicks, said they were 2 week old golden Wyandotte...have had them for a week and still figuring out gender. I’m noticing a couple of them seem to chest but each other a bit more these past couple days. Does this represent rooster behaviour or do hens do this too?

Pullets will chest bump each other too. They are just figuring out the pecking order.

Hens will do that as well. Sometimes rooster behavior shows early, but at only a few weeks old, it's hard to tell if it means anything.
