Bullying!

[Tsickum]

Hi all, approx 6 weeks ago we introduced a silkie to our other two chickens, and apart from the expected pecking order squabble everything has been fine since. Only in recent days the Dorking is being a right bully and chasing the silkie constantly! She leaves the Orpington alone, is it a hormones thing (she's about 5mths) or is she just an asshole?? Worried about the poor wee silkie!

Do you have hiding places for the Silkie where she won’t get cornered? Make sure her fluff around her eyes are trimmed so that she can see and avoid getting attacked.
