I’m a new mom to 12 chicks. One is a barred Cochin that’s about 4 days old and agressive. It runs up and pecks at me. Is this a Roo? Is there something I can do to make it more friendly.

Also I have a silky w a pasty butt! Help! Can I wash it’s butt and then blow dry it? How do I get this stuff off
 
For pasty butt do what you need to do to get that stuff off. I've sometimes used a small stream of warm water from the faucet to loosen it up. A really wet washcloth works at other times. I don't usually blow dry them afterwards. They are just put back under the heat plate. They dry quickly under the heat.

As to your aggressive chick, most people say their males tend to be the sweetest friendliest of their chicks. They'll stay like that until their adolescent hormones start up. I'd say your chick is already trying to set the pecking order. I've seen them do this from the time they are very young.
