Hi everyone, I just noticed tonight that one of our baby chicks is being pecked incessantly by the other chicks, and I don't know why or what to do about it. They will be three weeks old tomorrow, three silver laced wyandottes and three Rhode Island reds. The chick being pecked is a Rhode Island red, if that matters. She just keeps burrowing down into the bedding and all the other chicks come over and peck at her...I've removed her from their container and put her in a bin, but I don't have another heat lamp to keep on her, and I'm not sure which is worse; the temp or the mean chicks.
Anyone have any ideas? They're currently in a crib I converted to a brooder, we're using the brinsea heat lamp, not sure if there's any other relevant info?
Thanks!
