    Pecking Order in 2 week old chicks: What is Normal behavior?

    That might be the case and for now they are inside my basement (until we can move them) and if I separate them out there will be 2 brooders essentially. I can't expand the space they are in so I have to divide them up. Doyou think it will be a problem when the group is reintroduced to each...

    Pecking Order in 2 week old chicks: What is Normal behavior?

    "Yeller" Chick-She cries all the time?

    She's not cold, she goes to the wall by herself and pecks and cries. I hold her and she fights like the dickens (ha not chickens) and I really think she's just a yeller.

    "Yeller" Chick-She cries all the time?

    Hi All, We've had our 3 day old Rocks for 24 hours and I noticed one chick is very much a loner and cries all the time. Did this chick imprint on something else? What can we do to help her? She doesn't like being held too much and cries alot. Thank You all!
