Hey guys, last week I noticed a small growth on the side of one of my chicks beaks. Today I've noticed that it has popped up on another 2.

The original chicks growth has grown quite large now. (Pictured)

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

Looks like Fowl Pox to me.
What's the inside of the beak look like - any yellow pasty material?

Don't pick at the lesions and try not to disturb them. You can paint them with Iodine to help dry them up.

Here's some tips/reading for you

Thanks for the reply, I have seperate the 3 that have the lesion, today the first chicks lesion has fallen off today and it's bleeding. Does this mean it's clearing up? Getting worse? She is on her own now incase the others peck at her

Thank you!
 
If it fell off, then I'd try to paint it with Iodine to help dry it up.
Good that she's by herself right now, you are correct that you don't want the other to pick at it and make it worse.
