I've got my first bunch of baby chicks (9 to be exact after losing 1-they're a wk. old) and I found the runt of the bunch (my favorite of course) had been pecked bald on her neck sometime this evening. I don't think she was hurt persay and I didn't see any blood, but she definitely had been attacked. I moved the entire bunch to a new larger brooder box in hopes this would help. Will she continue to be picked on since she's the smallest?? What do I do to help protect her? None of others showed any signs of being bothered.
