Brahmas attacking silkie

[HeatherTheMommy]

I bought all of my chicks at the same time but they were in 2 brooders most of the time. Monday i moved everyone except my silkie and 2 guinea hens outside because they are much smaller. Today i put the last 3 outside but my 2 much larger brahmas are attacking the silkie if she walks past them. Do you think they are just establishing pecking order? Its mostly just the one brahma doing the bullying.

Could be pecking order, they're the new kids on the block. Just keep an eye on them but I'm sure they'll sort it out

Ya my silkie is much smaller than everyone else but she is my favorite chick lol

I am looking at getting a couple of silkies from a breeder close to us and they just informed me that bantams are likely to pick on silkies
