We bought 3 chicks earlier this week; Dolly is a buff orpington (the largest), Gretchen is a jersey giant (who is really tiny), and Henrietta is a rhode island red (medium size), they are 2 weeks old... They got along fine for the first couple days but now Dolly is being agressive towards G and H. They are being kept in a kiddie pool and have plenty of food and water so there isn't much to fight over as far as those 3 things go.
Dolly will fly over to where G and H are and stop them from walking around. Last night I saw her pecking at G (the smallest) on the body and then at her eye. Even when I am holding Dolly, she will fly off of my hand and down to where the other two are and puff up and push them around. Henrietta usually stands up for herself and will stand tall and raise her head up which gets Dolly to back down but Gretchen is so small that she can't do that.
Is this normal? Is there anything I need to do?
