This year I hatched 3 silkies under a broody hen. We got two buff and one black. They’ve grown up without any fights or fusses and their mother has now stopped looking after them and has went back to the big coop- which is all good.
however, upon adding two buff Orpington pullets to their coop (that we call the nursery) the black one has stopped hanging out with the other younger chickens and now wants to sleep outside the coop at night.
I also notice that he sometimes still tries to follow mother hen around but she does not care for them as much anymore.
I don’t know if he is antisocial or at the very bottom of the pecking order to the point that he cannot flock with his friends anymore.
