Bleeding chicken beak

[lfranklin73]

Hi, I'm new to the group and to raising backyard chickens. My family is very excited about the new adventure. This morning I noticed that 2 of my 6 chicks have blood on the top parts of their beaks. Can anyone help with this? They are around 7-8 weeks old.

I would wash out the wounds with some saline wound wash, try not to get it in they're eyes. I'm thinking they may have been pecked by the others.

Btw, welcome to the flock!

Thanks. Should I separate or is this normal?

I think it would be best to keep the two seperated from the others for now, til at least the wounds heal.
