This is my first batch of chicks ever. I ordered 6 day old chicks from My Pet Chicken, 2 buff Brahma bantams, 2 white silkie bantams, and 2 black frizzle Cochin bantams.
They will be 1 week old tomorrow. The buff Brahmas have grown faster than the others and 1 of them, the biggest, started pecking all the others vents and faces really bad. Luckily I caught it doing it before blood was drawn. The others would cry out in pain. The brahma just wouldn't stop for nothing and it was nonstop.
I separated it from all the rest in a smaller clear bin brooder right next to the others so they can still see each other.
Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?
Culling isn't an option here as I would never kill an animal.
Thanks in advance
