Hi,
This is my 1st time raising baby chicks and have research it for over a year before beginning. I have 8 (3 week old) chicks (Black Aust. RIR and Lavander Orp), i noticed yesterday that one of my Lavander Orpingtons was getting "pecked" on. They keep pecking her in the same spot (on the fluff under her R eye). She just lets them do it. I thought she might have something on her, so i used a washcloth and wiped it and that didn't stop them. (She *i don't know for sure if she is a female, but is the baby chick that my daughter holds a lot), could this be a reason they are pecking her?
*no, bald spot or broken skin yet*
Thank you for any help and advice.
Kate
