Hey y’all, my three week old girlies are growing to be big (as in one or two of them tend to wanna roost on the top of their container instead inside ) and my boyfriend and I are finding a bigger home for them. But I’ve noticed lately that they’ve been running around at each other and “dive bombing” each other like rowdy little four year olds. Is this okay? Is it maybe the too small Home? They’re just starting to get their big girl feathers on their wing tips so I thought it might be too early for them to start a pecking order but thoughts?
 
Play/mock fighting is part of the maturation process and is integral to the setting of the pecking order. It's normal behavior, but they may also need more space.
