Hi, we are new to raising chickens. we have 3 week old chicks. 19 of them. One of them pecks the others until they bleed. We keep it seperated but able to see the others since it was 3 days old. It pecks their vents and eyes. Everyday we put it back in and watch. Within one minute it is running from chick to chick pecking. It is an easter egger. The ones it attacks first are the rhode island reds. We have left it in longer and it will go for any other the other chicks. We have had to seperate injured ones until they heal because of this chick. The rest get along fine. Is there any suggestions what we can do? We are just heart broke for this chick and our little flock. any help would be so appreciated. thanks so much!! We are raising these to lay eggs and as pets and love them already.
