3 week old silkies fighting?

[slavedriver01]

I have 2 silkies that are 3 weeks old and tonight they were throwing their bodies at each other and what appeared to be fighting. It was quite funny to watch them walk circles around each other however made me wonder if they are cockerels and maybe I should separate them? Is it normal for them to fight this early?

Chest bumping is common in chicks of both sexes, at least it's better than pecking and drawing blood.

If you ever raised puppies - they growl and rough house from the time they can waddle on their little legs.

Lol ok thanks. And as a matter of fact, I'm raising 5 mini schnauzer pups right now that are also 3 weeks old! They just started walking but I know the wrestling will start soon enough! It's a darn funny farm around here
