We let 2 of our hens sit on 13 eggs, 10 hatched, and 1 very angry hen.
A few days after their eggs hatched, our silkie, decided that she wanted to be a single mom, and not co-mom with our wyandotte-silkie. (Ws)
So our silkie has nonstop fights with the ws, pulling her hair and jumping all over her, the ws doesn't fight back but tries to run away, even if their chicks arent in reach of them the silkie still wants to fight. So we have them taking turns being momma hen, separating 1 of them from the chicks until we switch them up.
It's sad watching both of them pace around the chick pen, and we can't keep separating them because our other hens like to pick on the silkie because she's different. I dont know if we should let them fight and hopefully their argument will pass.
What should we do?
