Roo-ish behavior

[jdoane]

an you tell anything about gender in two week chicks by behavior?? Two of my chicks frequently go beak to beak and flap at each other. Really looks like a dominance show. But they're just babies.

The next minute they will be cuddled up sleeping together. Just wondering if it is indicative of anything.

X3. There is almost always one like that. Sometimes it is a characteristic of a rooster, but often times, it is just a few hens clashing for dominance.
