Hi, my two 3 week old Belgian D'uccles are always together but one of them pecks the other on their head and jumps at her like a rooster? Or just being a bully? I separate them when it's pecking the other ones head but then calls for it.
Please help, it's been doing this for the last 3 days.

Thank you.

Can you get a video of the behavior? Also pullet chicks can be assertive as well.
 
Ok, I'll try to.

I also forgot to mention that the one that pecks also pecks the two little 4 day old chicks I purchased. The one being pecked on gets on well with the two little ones and the silkie chick I have also gets on with the two little ones but this one pecks the baby chicks very agressively.

3 week olds with 4 day olds doesn't always work, so may want to separate them.
