I have taken in a 6 week old Easter egger. Her behavior is baffling me. She is constantly cheeping. The only time she stops is when I'm holding her. She always has her tail feathers down. She is always running under my two other chicks and hiding near or underneath them. They tolerate her behavior but do give her pecks. I am looking for advice because I have never had a chick thats acted like this. Is she traumatized from her first 5 weeks of life? I can elaborate on her early experiences if that helps. Is she just at the bottom of the pecking order? Maybe she just has a very submissive/ insecure personality? Help! Also, can I attach a video? I've tried unsuccessfully
