I have 16 chicks as well and one started scratching his head both sides like crazy at times. He is five days old and the only one doing this. Some say it may be the new features coming in? Just odd how he is the only one doing it. He cries frantically when doing this and rolls on his back in distress. I emailed my hatchery and they do not have a clue as to why. Ruled out ear mites since they are indoors and nobody else has this problem..just really odd..
