Help! MEAN chick!

Some chicks are just little monsters. Usually they mellow out as they get older.

If there are any eggs left under her, then they need to be removed. You can candle them, but I don’t let my broodies sit for any longer than the second day after the first has hatched. Otherwise, the chicks don’t get shown where food and water is. I like those heavier waterers, at least a gallon, for chickens, because the others are too lightweight.

The reason I won't be letting the chicks out with the big guys is because their food/water is up off the ground.. plus they might get stepped on. I have a few roos & they've been a bit testy lately.

Some people have a harder time killing baby animals then others

I do have a hard time killing animals, but if it's mean to the others, I do have to make a decision. Either let it cripple the rest or eliminate the problem.. I think it's a pretty fair choice.

What exactly is wrong with the beaks of the other ones? I've never had mine damage beaks before no matter how awful they were

I can’t see a reason to cull this chick from getting pecked by another chick. Broodies may pick on a weak chick if they don’t seem normal, but the OP has not mentioned anything like that.

I meant cull the bully ive had chicks scalp other chicks before usually they ended up males
