Yesterday while i was examining my chicks (which are about 7 week old), i saw pink bumps on the beaks of two of my chicks.
They seem to be doing fine.
I have attached pictures.
Please reply and tell me what to do!!!

It looks like bruising to me, probably biting and fighting as little chicks do. It looks like it's trying to heal with the first bird, the second one is kind of harder to tell.

Keep a close eye and make sure it doesn't grow, because it could be a beak disease of sorts or malnutrition of sorts. Consult a Vet if it gets any worse.

Thank you!!
I'll keep a check on the two!
 
Could be from injury or possibly the beginning of Fowl Pox (the sore on the side of the beak that goes inside) - do you have a lot of mosquitoes right now?

Keep watch on the bumps, if they become larger, then you may need to treat them. You can apply a small amount of Iodine on the sore to see if that help clear it up. Change and clean your water stations daily.

Yeah! We have mosquitoes here.
I'll keep a check upon the warts!
