Chicks pecking other chicks

[Elfie4306]

Hi all, so we just got out chicks today, along with two other bantams for free because one is a rooster. The bantams are a few weeks old, while the others are 1-5 days. So they're pecking the other ones, pretty expected, I was just wondering should if it be cause for concern, or is it just them figuring out their pecking order? Also I did a little photo shoot with them, and they're so cute so I will be attaching pictures.

I'd have them separated, ideally within line of sight of one another, until the younger ones are a bit bigger and better able to hold their ground.

Yeah we moved them into the full grown bantam pen. We have two in there, and they're super sweet. Currently they are not associating with the new ones, but they're not bothering them.
