After 2 days of non-stop roughhousing we decided to separate our hatch into 2 groups. The silkies, the BSL female and the RIR that has feet issues are in one brooder and the rest have been put in with my 3 week old ee/silkie mix (he's terrified of them).
It was just getting to the point where 2 of the silkies were getting trampled and run off the food before they could get more than a peck in. The poor RIR had her booties pecked off more than once and the BSL is about as small as the larger silkie so she was getting railroaded as well. The ones I took out have thoroughly declared the new brooder theirs and are running around like little tanks. The silkies/RIR/BSL are still hiding under the teddy bear I left in their brooder
Hopefully they'll come around soon.
