Mean chick! What breed? What to do?

[Noy]

Someone on Facebook suggested that she might be a roo...

They are in with an MHP, grit, a clump of dirt and weeds (when I removed it they had their first dust bath!), logs to roost on, and shavings all over the bottom.
Obviously they could still be bored, I guess, but I don't think that's it...
She wasn't eating, or sleeping, or grooming herself- she was too busy harassing all the others!

As soon as I took her out, the whole flock curled up on top of the MHP (it's 86f right now! Hot day) and took a nap... I felt so bad for them :-(
I get that it's natural behavior but I didn't want to lose another chick (lost one a couple of hours ago, not because of her...).

If you've done all that, I'd just get some Peck-No-More lotion (to be on the safe side) and then wait for her to grow out of the behavior. Some are just a bit more aggressive than others at that age for whatever reason, I call it their "terrible threes" because it seems like it starts when they are around three days old and tapers off in the second week.

Yeah, I need to get blue kote or something like it, for sure.

I'll keep her separated from the group until I see that they are all strong and going to make it... then integrate her and her (not so willing) buddy back into the flock.

Maybe I'll have that coincide with moving them to the run - it's HUGE and she'll have a lot of interesting stimulation there with the move.
I'm just waiting for them to grow some more because they won't have a heater out there (and with days like today - they don't really need one, anyway).

Thanks!
