Good morning, and welcome to BYC. Sorry for the loss. During the first several days chicks peck at everything determining what is good to eat. Generally they outgrow this behavior.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

I am a new member in Colorado, I got 9 very sweet hens and 1 laidback rooster called Eddy Haskel in the spring of 2022. I just ordered 6 more baby chicks (females). They are rare breed Marans and I got them in three days ago. They are healthy and doing well, but one of the chicks (brown in color with a large beak) is aggressive and very mean to the other chicks. She pecks at their faces, legs, wings, and doesn’t let go. It attacks the other chicks relentlessly. I ended up separating her from the others because I was afraid she would kill the other chicks. This mean girl is in the same fenced cage as the other chicks but separated by plastic fencing. I am not sure what to do with her. Is there any chance she will calm down and stop attacking? What is my best approach to dealing with mean girl?

Welcome to BYC!! Happy Halloween!
