We moved our 2 week old chicks from a rabbit cage toa large box today. This evening, I found all six of them in the same spot pecking their little hearts away at the same spot. Is this normal???

I noticed with ours when one starts on something the rest join in. I watch them peck at nothing as a group all the time. So I would say - NORMAL

I agree it's normal. If one chick/chicken thinks something is 'really cool', the others often join in just to make sure they aren't missing anything.

It's completely normal. Our new babies are in a giant cardboard box right now. They found a piece of cardboard sticking out and all 11 of them have been pecking at it for a few days now. They all seem to be followers. One starts something and they all join in. Goofy chickens!!

Goofy is right! I have one chick named Hannibal because everytime I pick it up it pecks away at me like it hasn't eaten since birth.

As everyone else said, completely normal. My chicks got hay today and they're currently running back and forth between pecking spots even though they SHOULD be sleeping.

Cute!!!

I agree too. It's normal, "monkey see monkey do".

Oh look! A spot! Peck it!

As others have said, monkey see, monkey do. The first night I put mine in their coop they all went for a spot on the wall, I think I've got a picture of it.....
