Young Chicks with Bloody Butt (pics included)

Update: Q-Tip and Chaps are still doing well. I am thinking of moving them out of the small ICU brooder tomorrow.

Yes! No more injuries in her brooder! Two of the chicks in there are smaller, and she is not being a bully at all.
Judge (a smaller chick)

Cakeface in front and Pineapple in back

Brown chick is Pippi, she is another of the smaller ones and the black and white one is Arizona, she is the largest of the bunch.

It isn’t that unusual at all for chicks to peck at each other, even until bleeding. If there’s something that attracts there attention on another chick, a speck of something, umbilical scab, or whatever, they’ll peck for curiousity sometimes to the point of drawing blood, which further attracts their attention. It’s entirely possible more than one chick was pecking, but pineapple got caught red-beaked. If the chick was being a “bully”, the other might have a bloody head, not a bloody bum.

Red beaked. Lol!
I am just glad that the two that were injured are doing well. I have had a chick in the past with that the others plucked her booty feathers, but she was older and I didn't have to worry about it causing the chicks problems going potty. My hubby was pretty sure there two were not going to make it.
