Why is one of my black sex link's picking at all the other 43 chicks?

My freind was having some trouble with her sex links plucking feathers from the other chickens....I wonder if it has to do with the breed? Her name is Henpen if you want to PM her and chat. I just think its weird that seems to be alot of sexlinks doing it.

Sorry about that, I hope it helps.

I'd isolate the pecker for a few days and hope she drops to the bottom of the pecking order when returned.

I put her in chicken jail one day. Then, in case it is a protein thing, I fed a dozen hard boiled eggs all mashed up. So far, so good. However, she did start at it for a couple hours, then stopped. Hope this is the end of it. Kathy
