Hi,
A few weeks ago, I purchased a Belgian D’uccle and a Silkie chick. Both are now 4-5 weeks old. And recently I hatched 4 Pekin babies who are now 2 weeks old.
I also have a Silkie hen, Pekin hen and a leghorn x isa red rooster.
This little Belgian D’uccle is the biggest, meanest bully in a tiny little parcel. She is super quiet with me and the Silkie I initially had her with, although she does square up to that little one occasionally.
She incessantly picks on the babies, and today she had a proper chop at the rooster (she comes up to his knees), the big Silkie hen is scared of her and my Pekin hen put her in her place. .
is this normal for a D’uccle? Could she be a rooster? She looks awfully like a pullet but is acting very aggressively. She fluffs up the feathers on her kneck and runs at them and pecks them.
