pecking order?

[MakelaNJoe]

2 of my chicks have been going at eachother all day! Are they pplaying or setting grounds in the pecking order? The chase eachother peck eachther and run and bump chests? Anyone have any ideas? Should i intervene?

The pecking order starts early, yes.

Not enough space can make these little battles more prevalent.

How old are your chicks?
