Carnivorous babies

[BetsyB3]

We seem to have our 5 week olds all of the sudden peaking at each other in a
very serious way! We have 25 of these new birds, 5 of them Araconas. The Araconas are being pecked at (almost eaten! yuck!) on their lower backs. I've raised a lot of babies before, but have never seen anything like this. We've separated them, but I'm wondering if I can put anything on their "wounds" to help them heal and to deter it from happening.
Please let me know if you have ANY advice.
Thank you!!
Betsy

my suggestion would be to separate the hurt birds. Your problem might be over crowding or not enough food so I would give them more space if possible.
