My 7-week old layer chick, Chelsea is getting bullied by all the chickens, including her own mother! Her mother, Nelly, is a bantam and sat on other chickens eggs when she got broody. But only Chelsea hatched, and they have been inseparable for the last six weeks. Then, on Monday, Nelly kept running away from Chelsea and the other hens kept pecking and chasing her. Today, Chelsea kept trying to get her mother's attention, until Nelly pecked her. Now, Chelsea is afraid of everyone (even the sick, half - blind chicken who can't move fast). There isn't much physical damage, mainly mental damage, and I'm not sure what to do.
