Bunch of roos or what , I have raised sevral groups of baby chicks and have had an agressive one here or there at times , This last group are ALWAYs squabbling and moshing and jumping and kick boxing eatch other , I try watching and seeing who is doing what and I can say the biggest and the smallest and the button quail dont really squabble but the other 4 act like bikers in a bar brawl .
Any Ideas would be welcome they are 3 weeks old today and little banty 's
 
gab, you said banties, but didn`t say the breed. Truth is, at this age the girls are just as raucious as the guys. You know, of course, that most bantams are more feisty than their larger counterparts. I think it`s the short guy syndrome. Dunno if this makes you feel any better, but that`s about all I can say. There is a really good anti peck spray at some pet stores. Can`t remember the name, but it`s in a little white plastic spray bottle and is supposed to taste like sour apples. Colorless too.........Pop

SERIOUSLY. Banties, I think, are aware they're little and therefore more prey-like than your average chicken adn make up for it by having attitude. My BO and Light Bhrama (my biggest chickens) are sweet as can be. My banties are more likely to have me for dinner than the other way around.
 
OH thank you
I didnt say the breed cause I have no idea what they are , Im almost positive one is a blue OEGB but the rest are darwins grab bag I got them from someone whos chickens are all together , I was waiting for them to get more feathers then I was gonna post there pics to get ideas. I didnt know banty's were more boisterous makes me feel better I have only had banty's twice one with 3 full sized and then 2 cochins and a mystery banty a few weeks back I dont remmber them squabbling but I got rid of them earler then this ai think.
Some of these have regular combs and some dont seem to have any which is weird .
