I have 4 RIR and sometimes I see them sticking up their neck feathers at each other. Like if one rushes one, they will meet and the neck feathers will puff out. This is most true on my younger girls. No fighting and they stop immediately. It's almost like they scared each other chasing a bug or something. When they all go to bed, you can hear them bickering with each other as to who goes where, but then they're all set.
Also, I am noticing a lot of feathers on the coop floor the last few days. They are only 5 months old so it shouldn't be molting right? I guess I should look them over and make sure they aren't picking each other. The feathers seem uniformly spread out though. Like small feathers evenly fallen under the roost in a line. Not one spot from being picked. I'm new to chickens though so I have no idea.
