HELP! Cannibalistic Chicks!!

Today I let them out before I left (6:00) and when I came home (3:00) Everyone seemed fine they were running around noone doing any picking they had even gone in with the sheep and goats who don't mind and the two injured ones are healing nicely and have decided not to pick eachothers wounds. I hope that this is how its going to stay after I introduce them back into the flock but you can never be sure I don't have any blue-kote but the Iodine seems to have worked fine thanks for the help!
 
Every one is doing fine i reintroduced the chicks into the flock and are doing well I realy wish they would roost at 7 instead of 8!

but I do have another problem I was intending on putting the ducks out for free range during the day as well but they have much less protection that the chicks nvm thats off point I had one duck whos legs completly folded beneth her to the point where they crossed ove and all she could do was shuffle ever so slowly backwards it got so bad and everyone picked on her so much we had to put her down but now another one of the pekin ducks is starting to show the begining signs the last one showed (thighs pointing ever so slightly more outward than the others) and she is starting to wobble whenever she tries to run to the point where she some times even falls over we feed 15 percent protein crumbles they live on hay bedding with a smalish for swimming largish for drinking water pan any ideas on what might be causing it and how to stop it before we have to put her down? (its very mild at the moment but i fear it will worsen)
