Hi! I'm new and already have many questions!

[Chickunsitah]

I have recently gotten two four day old Barred rocks, one Delaware, and one Black Sex Link, both about a week and a half. They are all hens. The Black Sex Link is starting to attack the Delaware for some reason. My sister is starting to worry that it may be a rooster, but my brother says that is the usual behavior for two hens...

Which one is it!?!? I have no clue and I need advice! I hope It's not bad!

Also, if anyone has any ideas for any fun toys or treats, that would be gladly appreciated!

This is my first time having Chickens ever, so if anyone has advice for beginners, that would also be appreciated!

Hi from KY!

It is true that they may peck at each other to establish who is in charge but they may also be bored. Is their area big enough? Is the light on 24 hours a day? There are all kinds of variables. Check out the chicken behaviours thread. You will find alot of help there!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

No treats until they are 6 weeks old - they are babies and their digestive tracts need to develop some first.
