ramming breast?

[k625]

So...I really didnt know how to title this post, but..I think my silkie chicks are 4 weeks old today, and I had them out in their coop, and I noticed some of them flying up at each other and they hit each other in the breast area. Why are they doing this? Just seemed like they were kind of fighting or something? Any ideas?? Thanks so much!!

Just sparring, working out the pecking order, blowing off steam. Just being kids.

does it mean boys/girls, or do they all just sort of do it for fun?

They all do it, trust me, LOL.

I always say they are going into Sumo Mode...like the wrestlers do. Mine are roosters though. They put their heads down then up and continue until one jumps over the other. Sparks:
