5 hour old bully

[Scottish-Hen]

one of the new chicks... About 5 hours old... Is bullying everyone including mum! He's literally running round pecking everyone. He's pecking all around mums face, I'm scared he'll get her eyes, she doesn't seem to discipline him (fairly sure it's going to be a he!!)

Suggestions? Just leave them to it?

(I really am a nervous chick mum! Give me 6week pre term twins any day!!!!!)

Ha, chickens have been raising bullies forever and I don't see many moms without eyes

. She will thump on him if he/she is really out of line. Your little one will get the hang of flock appropriate interaction soon enough.

He's literally just pulled her eyelid out as far as it can go and now another has started too.
