Chicks Fighting

[FluffySilkie]

Isolate one or both for a day or so. Then you should be able to recombine them. I can recombine even game cockerels at that age.

Ok! I will thank you for the advice I will put a divider and a top to the other one can’t get it.

Yeah! We have a dna testing lab near us and we want to send over some feathers! We have our predictions but we want to be certain.

Breed not always the cause. With not game breeds, it can be set off by overly tight confinement and / or nutrition or the physiological changes associated with weaning. With may games I stock a more mature male which could even be a mature cock on top of them.

I had 5 silkie chicks together and the two that started fighting like yours turned out to be roosters. I kept them separate and every time they got together feathers would fly. One day I was tired of seeing the one rooster have to live in solitude and feed him separate so I let him out, walked away and let them do their thing. When I came back the next day it was sorted and one was the dominate roo and the other one showed him respect so I assume he got his butt whipped. They ended up living together in a run away from hens with no more problems.

Ok! Yeah we thought the 2 fighting were Roos but this almost confirms our suspicions. But we will definitely separate them!
