Should I worry??

[Helenambm10]

I recently bought 10 baby chicks and they’re about 3-ish weeks, all females. And one of them seems to be a little naked and I’m seeing some of the chicks pecking at her and I’m worried. I have 2 barred Plymouth rocks, 4 Easter eggers, 2 Rhode Island reds, and 2 buff Orpington. The one I’m worried about is an Orpington.

I hate it when this happens. If you can separate her until she grows her feathers back that would be great. Try putting her in a clear/wired box so that they can still look at eachother and get familiar with one another.

I’m not home right now but I have a crappy video of my brother holding her.

Never mind I can’t find the video but I’ll get one hold on

2x Chicken_Guru Separate within the same brooder so they can see each other & interact so you don't have to do an integration later.

Helen, where are you brooding them, what is the temp inside the brooder/coop, are you using any supplemental heat right now? What are the dimensions of the brooder/coop? How long have you had them? What is the protein content of their feed? And What is the mill date of the feed? are they pulling feathers off this chick, or is she just smaller and slower to feather?

I’d remove her ASAP , she’s too little and could get hurt fast .
Make a circle of hardware cloth , put it in the brooder,hang these for food and water
Just cut a plastic bottle in half , punch holes and hang it with wire .
