Amber is mean!

I bought a pullet(chick) at a poultry swap. When i let her out of the cage, a few of the other chickens pecked her. She stood up to them and chased them off. I was glad that she was able to defend herself, but I didn’t know she would start attacking the chicks that were smaller than her. Today we found her attacking one of the silkies. It was bleeding alot. The poor thing never does anything to hurt any of the other chicks. So far as I’ve seen the silkies are friends with pretty much all the other chicks. They have never been attacked until now. What should I do?

You probably need to separate the silkie that's been bleeding until she's better - or that might provoke more pecking from the others. As for long term, you could try keeping them apart for a while then trying to introduce again. I'm not sure, hopefully someone with more experience will have a better answer. Good luck!
