5-6 week old chicks fighting

That’s what I was thinking.

ditto

sorry i didn’t realize i said 5-6 weeks, should’ve been more accurate, crickets(grey one) is 7 weeks old the others are around 5-6 weeks old, the little one was a late hatcher. sorry about that!

Pullets can display aggressive behavior towards one another too, it's not strictly a cockerel behavior.

They should work things out soon. To me it sounds like them settling their pecking order.

I agree

I agree

thank you! hopefully they stop soon, once they grab eachother they won’t let go but let’s all hope they get it together

I've never seen a comb that big on a chick that young.

there was blood last time, garbanzo(the brown one i think is a boy) bit one of crickets spikey things on his comb

Your cockerel looks like a Serama chicken based on his age and comb size. I have 3 cockerels of my own a couple of weeks younger than yours but there combs almost as big as yours.

crickets started singing like 2 weeks ago and it was definitely not expected, i heard a tiny squeak coming from his brooder around 2 & a half weeks ago, i thought he was dying or something but it turns out it was him singing i’ve never seen a chicken that young sing or have a huge comb for that age !
