Chirping
Hi, I noticed today that all 7 of my month old chicks (Orpingtons and RIRs) have bruised, flaking beaks. I don't know what could cause this or how to treat it. I'm suspecting either fungal infection (which again I'm not sure how to treat or how they would have gotten it) or maybe they've damaged it by running up and down the run fencing when they get excited to see me. Here's a picture of one, they all look like this, but my Keets who are housed with them remain unaffected.
