Can anyone help me pleaseee😭.. still my 8 week old chicks are eating HUMAN HAIR!!!🤯

[Yanisay]

I had incubated my own hen's eggs 3 months ago and hatched 6 out of 8 of them. Now these chicks are 8 weeks old.. I leave them to roam everywhere since 6 weeks of age. Since temperature here will be always above 32 to 35 C.

From the first day I left them out to till now... everyday whenever they go out.. they tend to pick human hair in their mouth. They will try to swallow it ..but unfortunately most of the time it will get stuck around their tongue or beak. And everyday I have to pull the hair strands out or cut them off close to their beak!

I used to pull the hair out very slowly.. by luck I can take them out sometimes with saliva and lump of hair at the end. But mostly it gets stuck and I am not able to pull them out, it will be very painful for them if I try little hard. So I will cut the hair strand close to their mouth so it can't disturb them while eating.. is this wrong way? ..will it be forming big cluster inside and cause serious issues in future?

I have other 3 chicks which were from the same mom and dad. Only difference is.. they were hatched by the hen itself and brought up by her. So now even they are 15 days younger than incubator borne chicks.. these 3 chicks have never eaten hair... though all of them roam together. I will share pics of hair stuck in their mouth. Later if possible I will try to take a whole bunch from their mouth and show that too.. you can see how long hair they cluster up inside their crop

I have searched a lot of websites related to this and there is no single article indicating my problem. Can anyone help me with this please!

This is a common behavior that is very dangerous,please try to stay with them whenever they go outside,my chickens do that too and the only thing I can do is help them whenever they get a hair stuck in their mouth,I forgot to say put a vitamin supplement in their water just in case they have a vitamin deficency,you can also give them treats like meal worms more often,and try to give them fresh and labeled feed
