I recently acquired 2 silkies. These birds are meant to be pets. I have tried integrating them into my small (4 birds) flock and while no one is actively hurting the silkies they are getting bullied. I want to separate the silkies into a small coop and run of their own and need to know what I can house them in. I have been looking at dog houses with roofs that raise up so I can access the interior for cleaning and egg gathering. Would this be good? Will 2 birds be able to stay warm enough in there in the winter? My 2 silkies are also trying to go broody. Can I let them do that in the space I make them or do they need a separate space just for that? Would a larger rabbit hutch be better than a dog house?
Any advice appreciated. Thank you
