And so it has begun. I have 30 bantams. 20 polish, 5 silkies, and 5 cochin, all 4 1/2 weeks old. A few of the polish are showing the beginnings of plucking. The one in pic being the worst. It is also the smallest of the polish. I separated it right away. I think it is a silkie doing it. There is one I caught really yanking on a polish's head feathers, but I'm not sure if that is the only culprit. I thought silkies were low in pecking order, but I guess not? Who would be lowest in pecking order with silkies, polish, and cochins? I ordered blue kote stuff, should be here in a few days. I'm sure there are other threads on this, so sorry if this is a repeat. I am in the midst of making enclosures for them. Should I make 2 separate enclosures and keep polish separate and keep the silkies and cochin together? Any thoughts? Thanks.
