We've raised 4 sets if babies since March, and ALL of them (roos, pullets, and some unknowns) at some point will chest bump & practice kicking. Some females will gradually slow down on that, but some are pretty spicy!
I think it's pretty normal chick behavior. As for sexing, it depends on breed, but watch the comb and wattles for growth and color. I could tell at 3 weeks that my porcelain d'uccle was a cockerel, but I have three barred rocks that are 13 weeks, and I'm still not sure, but there hasn't been any crowing yet. Eventually they'll crow or lay, and I'll know for sure.
