I've had a few young hens that did that. I mark all new pullets with leg bands made of zip ties. Just for grins the most aggressive chick always gets a red band, #2 gets blue, the wimpiest gets yellow, and the other colors are arbitrary. I usually find that the pushy ones keep their aggressive characters into adulthood. (once in a while the red band turns out to be a rooster.)
