We've recently noticed a couple of a chicks picking at each other. Mainly on the feathers, thank God, and we try to stop them. They don't draw blood and they don't act very aggressive like jump on each other and pick at each others eyes and feet!
Which is good in my eyes I thought that perhaps they're establishing a pecking order (They are 4.5 weeks now) However, I "pick" back when they display this behavior but could there be more reasons for them to be picking at each other?
We've moved them into Mom's bathroom, the air flow's better. It's not as hot for them. And we're hopefully getting a bigger cage soon that will be mailed to us.
I'm curious if they'll stop this behavior if we do this. Will that work? Could it just be that Mom and I are paranoid and they're just making a pecking order?
