Please help. Chicks vent being pecked? Treatment options

[Northern.Ontario]

Hi Everyone. Looks like one of my chicks is getting his vent pecked? What are the best treatment options. Isolate from the rest of the 100

?

I would definitely isolate it for now or they will keep pecking it and could kill the chick. Someone will come along soon with more knowledge.

Quarantine asap. Either hatch related or cannibalism.

You could put some 'Blu-Kote' on it. It's a spray (messy and stains) and then other chicks wont peck it. Baby may have gotten a bit of feed/poop stuck to its bum and another pecked at it & drew blood, they're little raptors and blood/red gets them pecking. Or isolate where they can see each other until it heals and they don't peck anymore?

Thanks for the reply! Wish I had read that before handling Blu-Kote. Now my right hand has blue blotches all over it. I tried reintroducing the chick but it got gang bullied right away. Not sure how long I will need to keep it in my makeshift hospital.
