They've started pecking each other!!!

[Northern Nest Farm]

Help!! We got 10 pullets in July and 10 more beginning of September. Kept them separated for a week with hardware cloth while they got used to each other and all went smoothly. There's been no issues till yesterday. I think they may be starting to molt but they are pecking at each other like crazy and they've NEVER done that before

That's what we thought at first... but no it's both... first 10 pecking last 10 and vice versa

Hmm, Can you tell if they're male or female yet?
