I have a 9 week old wite silkie and a 9 week old red frizzle cochin. They have been together since they were a few days old. Never had any problems. Today my silkie has plucked my cochins back pretty much naked. Whats going on and how do I stop it short of seperating them?
 
Feather picking can sometimes begin because of crowding, (hard to do with only 2 chickens), boredom or lack of enough protein.

You didn't give any details, but those are some things you can check out.

Good luck sorting them out!
 
there are 3 chicks in the pen its 6'x4'x4' the chicks are only like 9 weeks and this all just started today. I hope i can figure this out., could it be that they are both roos maybe or that they are both hens i dont know for certain which they are
