Help!!! I think my chick is killing other chicks!

Help! I'm pretty sure one of my chicks is killing the other chicks. They are all about 5 or 6 weeks old. The other day one chick had another chick's neck in its mouth. The next day it was dead. Today, one chick's feathers were missing ( some of them on the wings) and a few hours later it was dead. What is happening? Can I help it?

yikes, i've had incidents like that before where day old chicks were just starting out and out of the ameraucana chicks kept pecking the eyes of some of the other chicks til they almost went blind- stay and watch them in your spare time to see what is going on, then if you see a bird that is doing the damage you can remove the bird and keep it separate, maybe where it can still see its mates but not in the same space. Also make sure you are feeding them enough, keep them busy to stop them getting into trouble. The space might not be big enough? Hope this helps.
