face pecking

[toddog]

is it normal for my 4 day old chicks to keep pecking each others eyes and face please help

 

[PAchicki]

no thats not how big is there coop? do they all have plenty of room?

 

[Lesa]

Sounds a bit odd. I would be sure they have enough room, plenty of fresh food and water.

 

[toddog]

ok thank you

 

[toddog]

11 chicks and the size of the brooder is apx 1 and a half foot by 1 foot is this to small , i do have another one comeing tomorow will they be ok ?

 

[Judy]

That's a little small. I would try dropping the temp in there a little, at least til tomorrow. It might help to darken the room some as well, like close blinds or turn overhead light off, whatever.

Mine do it all the time. Its like they see a speck of shavings or something and try to peck it off.
