I won a Cackle Surprise box on a raffle site, and it came with a BBB turkey poult. When I was transferring the chicks to the brooder, I noticed some had little red marks on their heads from being pecked. I didn't know who did it but figured with them in a box for three days bunched together, its bound to happen.
I later went to check on them and heard a commotion coming from one of the brooders that had the turkey poult in it and saw him/her with one of the chicks by the head just flinging it around. I was shocked! I didn't know and or thought they would do that. They are in with similar size chicks and plenty of room to run around.
My question is, and since this is a single poult, should I put it in a separate brooder by itself? If it continues to hurt the chicks, it probably wont make it to freezer size, if you know what I mean.
