Chicks with blood on beak

Hey everyone — is this anything to be concerned about? ILT? Injury? We did have a falcon in the coop this morning just found watching them but I can’t expect they would have fought him off at 8 weeks……

Are there any chicks that don’t have the bloody beaks? Looks like they might be picking at each other, I’d take a seat and watch them for a while to see if that’s the case.

Otherwise it could be the feeder/waterer that has holes too small for their beaks.

The injuries look small enough that they should quickly heal on their own, but it's worth trying to figure out how it's happening since multiple chicks have the same injury in the same place. I would suspect there is something sharp somewhere that is poking them.
