Welcome to BYC!

Is the chick in question the Barred Rock in your Avatar? LOL My Barred Rock babies are very rambunctious. They tear around their enclosure, beaking each other, (lightly and not in an aggressive way however) but they will peck lightly at my hands too. They never sit still and are constantly peeping and fussing. Chicks have a lot of energy. They will settle down as they grow. Give your little chick some time to grow up. In the mean time, keep your hands away from the beak!!!

Enjoy your chicks and welcome to our flock!

Chicks at this age are still learning the routines of life. It takes them a while to settle into things. They can stress easily. They also explore everything with their beaks. This is all they have for touching and understanding their environment. So be patient with the little guy. He will calm down and de stress as he grows. :-)
