Hen chicks sparring??

Hen chicks sparring??
Hen chicks sparring??

Raising meat birds and laying hens together, we have 37 in this coop. Planning on making an outdoor run soon.

My question for y'all: is this normal play fighting or do I need to give them toys ASAP? I have given them a couple log perches that a few of them seem to enjoy. I have one crossbeak hen chick, so I have been giving them a water/feed mash to help her but every birdy loves it too.

Any advice would be appreciated!
