Are my chicks trying to hurt each other or is it pecking order

So I finish my cage for my baby chicks in the house we had a raccoon attack so we moved it all inside and this is a new batch but I move them from their boxes and now they fly around in like jump on each other is it in establishing their pecking order or are they just going to keep fighting or are they playing

It's kinda both,play that establishes Pecking order, plus burning off extra energy

Now those are some energetic chicks, never seen them jump that high before, what you feeding them, they seem very happy and well cared for, but I stick with my original post of just playing

They are playing AND establishing who will be who in the pecking order. This will change a bit as they grow. Right now, they are playing. I have 27 in an outdoor coop doing the same thing right now.
