Newbie, vent being picked

[ConniB]

My first ever chicks are 10 days old. One is getting her vent pecked raw. Can I separate her until it heals? She is constantly chirping alone. i have her in a large box with heat, water and food.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Yes. Try to fashion a wire divider to keep her in a look don't touch situation until she heals.
How large is your brooder? Pictures will help.

Hi and welcome to BYC. Vent-pecking is normally associated with a lack space and limited stimulation. The experts will be along soon to assist.
