Baby chicks fighting HELP!!

[ls430fl]

Hi, I am on day 21 now and two have hatched with another piped. The two that have hatched seem to be fighting in the incubator. They are pecking at each other's faces. and the chirps are not pleasant ones when they are fighting. Almost looks as if they are going for each other's eyes! Is this normal? I am hesitant to remove them becaue of the other chick that is piped. Any advice?? I don't want one to die :/ :/

It's normal. Chicks are attracted to bright and shiny objects, and what is more enticing than a bright shiny moist eye ball! Thanks for the timely reminder! Perhaps when I put my eggies into lock down, i'll add some good sized beads for them to work on! They won't kill each other. As for the noise, wouldn't you sound distressed if your eye ball was getting picked on? Unfortunately, perfectly normal!

Ok thank you! I hope to get them out of there soon so they can stretch out a little bit

I'd leave them until the 3rd one hatches. The sounds these 2 are making will encourage the 3rd one to speed up her hatch.
