I have a flock of 8 Silkies. Four hens and four roosters. One rooster, Dorf, was at the top of the pecking order, but he was hardly ever a bully. Recently, two other roosters, Fozzie and Aro, started to take over the top spot and now Dorf is getting bullied quite badly. He’s not badly injured, but I still feel so bad for him. The two bullies are sleeping separated from the rest of the flock tonight because they were rejecting Dorf from the hen house. That cannot be a permanent solution. Is there any other solution than rehoming? I’ve already had to do that and it broke my heart as I’m so very attached to my chickens and think of them as pets.
