Hi everyone
A few weeks ago I noticed some Pecking on the Chicks so I put the Hen with her chicks separate.
I noticed one chick missing some featers around the neck.
Today I noticed one Chick being very weak. After having a closer look I noticed some sort of swelling or growth on the neck, see Picture.

Is it kind of an infection because of pecking or is it a desease?
Is there anything I can do to save its life?
Do I have to worry about other chicks getting sick?
Best Regards
