Hello,
First time chick raiser here. I have 19 chicks, 18 female, 1 rooster. They are 5 weeks old and healthy. I have a problem though. They were in a 4X3X3 brooder and it got cramped, so I enlarged it. But over the past week, my cockerel, Salmon Favorelle, pecked all the feathers off one of the female Salmon Favorelles. He hasn't pecked any of the other chicks. How do I help her? Do I need to remove her from the brooder? Do something with him?
Thanks for the advice.
