Chickens fighting! Help

[chickens really]

Not trying to sound repetitive just making sure I’m correct. Put silkies, baby chicks and ducklings all in separate brooders? So three seperate ones?

Yep....

I’ll try that, do you think the baby chicks that are maybe 5 days old could go with my 5 week silkies and be ok?

Ok just got your reply sorry!! Thank you for your help!

No....The age gap....

You need three separate Brooders...

Best wishes...Look no touch pens are best...They can see each other but not fight...

They need quite a bit of room when you have multiple birds and it’s better to have more than not enough. Also it is more about size than anything else. When they are all about the same size you can try introductions again. I personally know ducks are messy and that makes it really hard with chicks. I am not a fan of boording then together.

I would give the ducklings a day to get their feet under them good, then brood them with the youngest chicks... just keep the Silkies separate since they're a lot older... with only 3 of each, chicks and ducklings can do just fine together...
