Corrected sentence:

The hen pecks at seeds, and the chicks peep along.

Why this is better (easy steps):

  • Start with a capital letter: write "The" instead of "the".
  • We often say "pecks at seeds" so adding "at" sounds natural.
  • There are two short ideas joined by "and" (the hen does one thing, the chicks do another), so we put a comma before "and".
  • "Chicks" is plural, so use "peep" (not "peeps").
  • Finish with a period at the end.

Another simple option for a young reader:

The hen pecks at the seeds. The chicks peep.
