Re: [CHICKENS-101] Cornish X chicks cannabalism?

 

I would be concerned you're not feeding a high enough protein feed if they're attacking each other. I'd try one with a higher percentage of protein. :love: Angelique

I found two chicks of 25 that are just one week old, that have been attacked overnight. One had part of its beak and cheek gone and another had it's wing and neck attacked.

I took those two out of the cage and put together in another. I'm just not sure what to do, why it happened, so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. They are in 3' x 4' rabbit hutch, so plenty of room. Tons of food and water.

Thanks for the help!
