I don't think thats normal. I would keep the poor chick in a seperate area for a while, or try giving them something else to peck at.

Sometimes using a red heat bulb instead of a white bulb can help discourage this. If they are feeling crowded, that can cause this too. If they are bored, you can throw a few green grass clippings, (make sure no pesticides/insecticides etc. is on the grass) into the brooder to give them something new to peck at/occupy their time.

I'm sure she'll be fine. But still, I'm rooting for you.

How old are they?
How are the pecked one's poops?
She may be being kept away from the food when the other two are there and then gorging herself when they're doing other things.
