I seem to have an odd bunch of chickens at the moment. I noticed a couple of days ago that one of my young hens had a sore near her eye and figured she had a peck to the eye, it was all healed over and not swollen at all but I've just noticed today that one of my silkies now also has a peck to the eye and side of the head and his/her eye is swollen.
I'm not sure who is doing but have my suspicions (if anyone has seen my other posts I may have three different roos on my hands and two have been bullying my other breeds recently).
Just looking for advice on if this is normal, do I wait it out and keep an eye on them or should I find the perpetrator and separate them?
I have a GLW, SLW and PBR all possible males, a PBR, GLW and BLW all hens (these 6 are 9-11 weeks old) and then 3x white silkies and a partridge silkie unsure of sex as they range from 3-7 weeks.
