I am new to raising chickens. I have 6, 2 each rhode island reds, barred rocks and white leghorn. My one barred rock is the biggest of the bunch and today I noticed her beak bleeding. It looks like she may have stuck it in something and I'm not sure what to do. I don't think the others have been pecking at her and it doesn't seem to affect her eating. I've read about blood on a chicken making the others peck it to death...............do I need to worry?? They are all 6 weeks old. I could use some advice. Thanks.
 
Hi and welcome!

First, you are right about other chickens with blood. So if the bleeding doesnt stop you may want to separate her from the flock until it stops.
Also can you upload a pic of her beak? It would really help to see it.
