I have 3 three-day-old chicks, a green queen easter egger, barred plymouth rock, and welsummer. They are all female. The welsummer chick has been pecking the other 2 chicks' bums, causing them to chirp very loudly and run away.
I have no previous experience with chickens or chicks and don't know what to do. The same chick has also been pecking at the other chicks' eyes. The eye pecking has been happening since yesterday, (they stayed with a friend for the first 2 days of their life) and the bum pecking began today. Is there anything I can do to help them? Are they stressed?
