Help please attacking chickens bullying

This might seen drastic but I have often gotten rid of birds to keep harmony in the flock. It sounds like they have enough space, etc. It helps to have a few feeding stations as well but it sounds like that’s not an issue either. You might consider selling the more aggressive ones. I’ve rehomed Faverolles to keep them from being bullied and I’ve rehomed other birds for being bullies. It is worth considering

I would consider it if it was 1/2 hens but I'd be getting rid of 4 out of my 7 hens
It's like a pyramid the hybrids bully all so I can't trust them permanently living with any
The faverolle and Brahma bully the silkies
The pekin is in the middle of it all she seems the easiest

I am only suggesting getting rid of the two hybrids. Sorry i wasn’t super clear about that. If you keep the silkies separate from the other three i bet it will be much more harmonious.

I agree - sometimes birds do not work out in certain flocks. And then you would have room to get some younger birds, always a good thing.

Can your other chickens see your silkies? Like are they in a dog kennel or something where they can interact?

I've had one silkie before and they grew up together with my other chickens and they never got into fights, he was also a rooster and idk if that effects anything.

I'd try to integrate them slowly by having them in a dog kennel or something and let the chickens interact with the wall so no fights happen. Maybe toss them in at night but I'd wait a few days because I don't want something bad to happen.
