my male dom pied(boidie) has been bullying his male chick, the chick turned 5 weeks old on friday and is feeding himself, but when Boidie goes to eat he attacks the chick, or if one of the hen chicks is with the male chick the Boidie will go after the male chick, should I remove the male chick? he's not getting fed at all Boidie, I have 2 options if I remove him, I can put him with Rocky my other male, or I can put him in a smaller cage by himself, if I put him with Rocky there will be a fight over dominance but they will probly settle after that.

so what should I do?

the other 3 chicks are all being taken care of by Boidie and all but #2 are feeding on their own.

I wouldn't really know. Maybe you can put him in his own cage and sorta tame him up. Hopefully someone else will come on who has had experience with this.

If I was you I would put the chick in a cage on his own for a while. His father probably sees him as a threat and more than likely wants to breed again. The chick doesnt need to be with his parents any longer if he can feed himself.

I would remove the nesting box - I find that resolves any male dominance issues.

if he is the youngest remove the box. Unless you want another round, then I would move to to a empty cage and any other chick old enough not to be with mum and dad.

the pair is no longer together the hen was distracting the father from his feeding duties, so that eliminates the possiblity of a 3rd clutch(her first clutch was one egg that she sent flying out of the box), the male chick is the oldest and already very tame, I will remove him today.

i keep a couple of older cock birds to keep with the chicks when they are taken out so i would have put him with the other bird
