I had 10 chicks in my brooder area. yesterday I noticed one girl being mean to the others. She would pull a feather from one of the other chicks and run around the brooder carrying it while the others chased her. She didn't seem to be picking on any particular one so I dismissed it as play or pecking order disputes and left them alone. This morning I woke up to a dead chick who looks like she was plucked bald.
Should I remove the bully? If so for how long do I isolate her? Any other ideas?
