Why the heck do my chicks insist on picking and eating all the lint off my sweaters? when theres no lint they try to eat the sweater itself. Its just a simple cotton sweatshirt (i've treid differnt ones). Im just wondering if theres a reason.
 
Chicks (and chickens) will peck at anything. If you take a magic marker and make a black spot on the wall of their brooder, they'll all run over and peck it. Yours are acting perfectly normal. Silly chickies...
 
Chicks will try to eat anything that is a different color from the background around it or anything that moves. I've had chicks chewing my hair when I would move my head while not paying attention.
 
so should I let them? I mean I would probally have to stand there almost naked to keep them from pecking but is sweater lint going to kill them? Im new to this chicken thing
 
Don't stand there naked... then it'll really hurt, cause they will still peck
