Adding a new chicken?

I had three chickens. The smallest of them died out of no where last week and my other two babies are just so sad. They are one and a half months old. We're not sure if they killed her by accident or something because she was the smallest in pecking order... or if she was just sick. But if we got a new chick that was still a baby (2 weeks old) would they kill it?

most likely. And i'm going out on a limb but I'm betting 99-1 your chicks have coccidia and you need to treat that. Are they on medicated feed?

They would certainly peck at it enough to demonstrate that it was at the bottom of the pecking order. Generally, you want to add several chickens at once to the flock.
