I have a chick that has had the tail feathers plucked out by the others. She is 2 1/2 weeks old. I bought Blu-kote, but it done no good for her as to when I put her back in the brooder, within minutes the others were packing at her tail, again.
O.K. this is my question.....I had a friend tell me that if they are pecked on like this that something is wrong with them and the others are trying to get rid of it by pecking. You know like a mama cat will killl her kitten if something is wrong.
Is this true? Is there something wrong with my little "Tigger" that will follow mw to the mailbox and back, the one that follows me through the house. IS something wrong with her? I was told if something was wrong with her that it will affect the whole flock.
Advice needed.
