What breed are these chicks?

[Stormhorse23]

Whatever they are, they're mean. Dragging the other chicks around by their legs! They killed my silkie baby. Pecked the poor thing to death. What do you think they are? There are 5 almost identical to this one.

I don't know but if they are pecking others...they need to be separated! What kind of brooder do you have them in?? Are they too crowed maybe??

Sounds like they may be hawks or something as mean as they are!

They look like our RIRs. The RIRs were the most agressive of the mixed lot we got (from Agway). When the leghorn baby got a bit of poop on her, they chased her all around until I heard them squawking. I had to wash her off and keep her separate until her feathers dried otherwise I think they would have pecked her to death. I never did see them drag any of the other chicks around by their legs though and there were 10 others. . . One of the two RIRs grew up to be a little friendly, the other is still was quite stand- offish.
