Help ! New raising 6 backyard chickens

[lazy6chicks]

I bought 6 chickens for my daughter last year thinking I will give them away after few Months . BUT I love my babies so Much can't give them away.problem I saw a week ago one chicken is getting bullied by others they peck poor baby on its neck. All feathers are gone and they keep attacking her . I've read online that if we separate chicken they don't welcome her back. They were 6 days old since Togather. What should I do and what to put on my poor baby so they leave her alone.
Can anyone help me plzzzzz.

Welcome to BYC!
Bullying is a common issue - and one that can stem from several root causes. If you share a bit more with us we can better help you sort out your situation. You mention there are six birds, correct? They are now how old? Are they confined to a coop and run setup at all times or out free ranging? If free ranging, how much of each day is spent out? How large (in feet by feet) are your coop and your run? What are you currently feeding your birds?

Poor chick, she should have been separated before she ended up bald. They could have turned on her and killed her. Even chicks can turn cannibalistic.
