Hello,
I have silkie chickens. A pen of 5 silkies. When I hatched them, we thought they were all hens. However they started crowing. None were laying. Now we have some laying, sitting, but they're still crowing. I know for sure I have one hen.
Today I had an incident I dont know who started it, but three boys were in a fight. I got them out before the third boy had anything happen too him. He hasn't ever been mean to any of my other chickens. He isnt mean to me or my fiance. The other two though, they were both bleeding. Feathers ripped out, claws broken, gobblers bleeding. I'm not sure what to do. I want to keep the one who didnt get injured, I just dont want him to turn aggressive from this fight, and that is my fear. Can someone please help me with this? I have cried almost all day because these are my babies.
Thanks in advanced.
