    Pecking eyes

    I need some input. We got 8 peachicks last week and a couple of days in we notice a few of them have an eye shut. We observe closer and the other few are pecking each other's eyes.

    I need an intervention...

    So, we have been planning on getting chickens for about 6 months. The local feed store started getting their chicks in, so we thought this was a perfect time. I figured 6 was enough....so we picked up 3 Barred Rocks and 3 Brown Leghorns. Well then my 6 year old tells me "It feels like we are...
