I have never experienced a scenario like this, but given how protective mothers are of their young, I tend to think she would not join the chick pecking club. I would put the chick back with mom and watch carefully.
I have 2 nhr, 2pr, and 2?'s (white rocks?), yesterday i noticed my bigger white rock was
bleeding, so i watched and didnt see anything. This morning I got up to find the smallest
nhr, pecking everyone and drawing blood, they are 14 weeks old and need to go out! I took
the bully out and put her in a cage near the others, but she looks real sad and i feel so
bad. She's just laying there doing nothing and when i look at her she turns away! The others
are happy and noones' fighting, i feel so guilty leaving her alone!! Tomorrow is the big day, the
coop will be ready by 9am. I cant wait to get them outside and let them roam around, Im hoping
it will be a cure all for Miss Freshy??? I bought my girls from a feed store in NH, and the man
who works there has had his girls outside since they were 4 weeks old! NH is pretty cold! Im a
new Mom and was too afraid to put them out so soon! I think the pecking has more to do with
the need for space than breed! imo Good Luck Everyone

Hi all I have 4 chicks but I sadly had to swap one due to a bad lump on the neck. The chick I swaped her for is a barnevelder but my araucana is pecking her and pushing her around is this just because the barnevelder is a bit younger and new to the group we just got her today.
