We have 6 3 week old baby chicks. One can not stop pecking at herself. She has pecked herself raw under one wing and is now working on the other. I have separated her, and we put betadine and vaseline on the area (after washing it with warm soapy water), yet she persists. I have been with her all day, stopping her whenever I can. She is eating and drinking but does seem fatigued. She and the others are on organic baby growth feed. All the other chickens seem fine and I see no signs of mites or other insects.
What can I do to keep her from pecking herself and how soon should I get her back in with the others? I just bought bluecote today.
Thank you
