Hi there, I have 2 Silkies, as they were both broody thought I would try and hatch an egg. Got 3 fertilised eggs from a friend and they have been sitting on them constantly, very protective. One hatched over the weekend and my younger Silke (who is just a year old) attacked the chick immediately and killed it. Another one has hatched, this time the older Silkie is sitting on it but as soon as she got off, the younger one tried to attack it again and I had to stop it. I have now separated them but wondered why would she do this?
Also one of my Silkies has the blue patches and the other one doesn't? any one know why?
Thanks for your help
