Chicks fighting 6 days old, Normal??

[Raysal]

It sounds normal to me.
Chicks like to do that, especially when they first wake up.
It's like how puppies run around and play-fight, or children run around and yell.

Of course you need to be sure they have enough space. And make sure they also have other things to do (food to eat, water to drink, something to scratch in and dustbathe in, maybe some low perches to practice sitting on.)

But a certain amount of crazy running and flapping is normal and healthy.
And a certain amount of challenging each other and "fighting" is also normal and healthy.
I've noticed that seems to happen most in the morning, as if they wake up full of energy and need to do something with it

Oh ok thanks for the information

What is the temperature in your brooder and how spacious is it? they need to have enough room to move away from each other and the heat source. And they need a feeder and a waterer in their brooder all the time.
Usually this would keep them busy eating and drinking.

They have a clean water feeder with food on one side. Once side has heat the other side is a shade if they get hot. 85 degrees on one side and 75 on the other

To keep them busy you could give them a nice dust bath and some fresh broccoli sprouts and fresh carrots to peck on.
Mine love it.

Thanks, will do

Are they all girls, or some boys? I think boy chicks play-fight more. Never raised boys personally though.
