I am new to all things chicken. I have in the last 48 hours hatched two chicks but the one chick that hatched first is now picking on the newest chick. I tried all the recommendations to stop the aggressive chick which didn't work so I shut the room up to make it dark and all is now quiet and i'm hoping that in the morning they will be better. Any thoughts?

Well I have one more egg still to hatch and so I'm hoping that may help but there again it might be that it will be 2 onto 1!

Hi and welcome to BYC. Hopefully your bully chick will settle down soon

Welcome to BYC. Chicks pick at things - it's how they learn their world. Unless excessive and blood is being drawn, I'd let it run its course. Put a mirror in there for the chick to pick at - scatter feed on the floor of the brooder - put objects in the brooder to distract.

Hello, Lynda, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with the chicks. Hopefully it's just the normal pecking order business.
