One chick bullying/grabbing the beaks of other chicks

[Kitana724]

Hi all! Just an update. So I did separate the chick for a while, but re-introducing it the behavior did not go away. So I took your advice with the "pecking" on the head. I only had to do it twice before the behavior stopped. (though I also prayed about it in church that morning.

)Now it's been two weeks and no issues!!


Thank you all for your help! It would have been a bit traumatic to have to cull one of my first batch of chicks.

Great!
Some chicks, and people-lol, just need a knock to the head.
When raising chickens, ya gotta think like a chicken.
