Baby chick peak problems !!sos

How old are these babes? Where did they come from? And what are you feeding including treats and supplements?

Here is one article that indicates it *could* be a gram positive bacterial infection...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1014307

The way they are happily hanging around the keet indicates it is not caused by that. Do they have a heat source?

Adding your general location to your profile can help others make the most relevant suggestions possible at a glance.

My second guess if it isn't injury as indicated by another poster, or bacterial like the link provided (or maybe fungal)... would be nutritional deficit... but answering the questions will help to rule in or out possibilities.

ETA: vet visit recommended if possible.

I give them starter feed and for treats lettuce and small roaches, I clean the brooder every day could they be pecking the walls of the brooder or their porcelain bowl?

I have never seen anything like this. Looks bad because if it gets worse they won't be able to eat. Do their beaks have a bad smell? If it were me, and vet care is not an option, I would treat with topical antibiotics and antifungals just to be sure and do a thorough deep clean of their brooder and all the feeders etc.

No bad smell at all,I’ll see if I can get some anti fungal
