Molalla OR - Speckled Sussex 3wk old chick

[frackmomma]

I got a few chicks at Wilco a couple of weeks ago and the Speckled Sussex chick isn't working out for us. She is targeting my Welsummer chick and pecked her bloody. I have tried isolating her but whenever I put her back, she goes right back and pecks my poor Welsummer. I would prefer to rehome this chick rather than cull if possible, but want to be up front about what's going on with her.

If anyone could take her in and incorporate her with their flock that's perhaps a few weeks older, she may do better.

I'm willing to meet in Portland/Clackamas area. Please let me know if you're interested.

Are you sure that is a Sussex? It looks like a Welsummer.

It could be a Welsummer! It was in the Sussex bin at Wilco.

Maybe a possible mix up. Maybe she is a rooster? And the other one is a rooster and they are fighting?

I have no idea. I don't think it's a rooster but it's too early to tell!

Way to early!
