3 day old chicks attacking new chick

How warm? Sometimes those can make it too warm. I generally use a 125 watt bulb myself unless it's cooler out.

Occasionally I will make a circle with hardware cloth and put it around the troublemaker. I let them out every hour for a while. Sometimes I need to add food and water and keep it in there for a day or two.

I also always add some glass stones for the first week to give them something to peck at. I put them in the feeder and scatter them about the brooder floor along with some chick starter.

To. E honest I don't know how warm it is at all. The picture is my setup and I wasn't really ready for this as my chickens rejected the chicks

Best to stick a thermometer under the light and see. Should be around 85-90 directly under it and around 70 or less away from it. Too much heat can cause aggression, and can can other issues like heat exhaustion.

You can use their behaviors to tell if the temperature is appropriate. Directly under the light and they are too cold. Away from the light it is too hot. Since you have some pecking going on I might try raising the light or switching to a smaller bulb to see if it helps.

I unfortunately don't understand the temperature as I work in celc
