I Personally do not think you should, but if the pecking is a very large problem, that draws blood or that is preventing you from caring for them, you can get ones that stop them pecking people and still let them eat :)

Why are the chickens pecking each others bottom and how to stop it?
Because they are molting or they are at the bottom of the pecking order and I would take them out of the flock but then after they return the flock will treat it badly and the pecking order will change and it might be messy.
Is it bad if your small hen is pecking your small rooster?
yes- very bad. Chickens peck at any spot of blood on another chicken and can not stop. They make the injury bigger and deeper by the day and more prone to infections. There's a product you can buy to stop the pecking- it's called blue kote. Wash the injury if needed and spray on the blue kote until the pecking stops. If there's no injury, you can use vicks vapor rub. Chickens don't like the taste of it. But don't put it on an open sore.
How do you stop chickens from pecking your Silkies?
If the birds are pecking the Silkies while they are at roost you will need to supply them with more space. If the aggression is out in the yard or during the day the only way to really stop it is to separate them. It is usually one or two bullies who get things going so when it is time to cull the flock take the "bad" birds first. The pecking order in a flock is constantly changing and Silkies are a very NON aggressive breed.
Is there anything that you can put on your chickens to stop them from pecking the bare spots of the other birds please help?
Not that I know of, but you can get an ointment from the feed store called Rooster Booster or Stop Bite. After rinsing the blood off of the chicken you dab this ointment on the area and it promotes healing, causes the area to numb and keeps others from pecking it. This saved the lives of several of the birds in my flock.

How do you get old chickens and a rooster to get along with baby chicks and a peekin duck?
The only way to accomplish this is to separate them until the chicks are old enough to stay out of harms way. Allowing the chicks to socialize with the flock can be done with a temporary cage, the chicks are protected yet among the older birds. All flocks of chickens have a pecking order and there is no way to safely stop this, the more grown up your chicks are, the better able to handle the pecking and chasing until peace reigns in the hen house.
