New owners. We got 6 chickens in April and 6 more in June. We introduced them all just about a month ago when new ones were about 6 weeks. There was pecking and chasing but it seemed minimal and died down. We have one super docile chicken (younger ground) that is so easy going, my 2 year old daughter is always picking her up. Never noticed any pecking until today. Her head and beak are bloody/pecked and one of her eyes is swollen shut. She was laying on the ground and didn't want to move. We picked her up and brought her inside and gave her food and water which she gobbled up. We're thinking she's the low hen in the pecking order and hasn't been able to eat or drink. We're separating her tonight but want to know how to proceed...
