2 of my little Silkie Bantie babies started serious fighting today and I don't know what to do! They had been facing off for a couple of weeks and jumping in the air at each other with their hackels up; but them seemed to get distracted. But today I heard the fight from my deck and scurried out thinking a predator had attacked one of them!
I did pick up the little guy that ran under the hostas because the other one went in after him. When I held the little guy in my lap he snuggled up to me and made the most pitiful baby noises. I didn't want to put him down again, but figured if I separate him, it will only get worse if I try to re-introduce him; plus he would be so lonely.
This is my first time with chickens and I live in a city that will only allow hens. I know others have this same situation. So my second issue is how do other BYC members place their little cockerels into new homes? Do you advertise on Craigslist, Word of Mouth, 4H kids?
Here's a link to the YouTube video of the fight (I hope this loads).
