Buff orphingtons and silkies

[amyreed90]

I had 4 buff orphintons and two silkies, who use to get to fine. Since lockdown they did fight a bit but that calmed down. One of the silkies become unwell and died last week, problem is my other silkie is now getting picked on. If I get two more silkies will this help?

It seems to me that the silkie is now the odd one out and getting another should fix the problem.

How much space do you have? What does your set up look like?

Generally if there's bullying issues, adding more birds = adding more problems.

IF you add more birds and there's still an issue, do you have room for a second, separate set up?

This the set up 2/3 of it as I don't have full pic.

That's 2/3rds of the run? Or is that the coop? Or combined space?

That looks pretty tight to be adding new birds, as the integration process favors having extra space.
