Cockeral behavior? Or just Chicking around? :)

My silkies are now about a month old and I've noticed that they all love to bounced around and do that chest bumping thing that I usually associate with cockerals. Should I assume that those chicks are male, then? Or do all chicks like to bounce off each other like that?

All chicks play fight. It's how they set up their pecking order.

That's what I figured, but a visitor said 'Oh, no1 They're all boys!' LOL

I actually have two that I think are cockerels out of the five. We'll just have to see how they turn out
