I have 5 little feathered friends who are a Bantam X Silkies (I think)
They are about 4 months old and pretty little things
I originally got 3 chicks, however 2 of them turned out to be roosters, so I got the 1 little girl another 2 friends and they turned out to be girls too (thankfully!)
They are:
Males - Achillies (Silver) , Arragon (Bronze)
Females - Atheena (Dark grey) , Atlantis (Black) , Astera (White)
As they're getting older, I'm just a bit concerned over how the dynamics will change with the cockrels as they're sometimes a bit mean to the girls, I'm not too sure how to handle the situation, the girls sometimes actually seem scared of them.
I try and put the roos in their place by giving them my equivalent of a good peck when they're being mean, but I clearly can't do that all the time because I'm not there all day every day, any suggestions?
