I have a head of nine birds. Three hens and six roosters. Now they all get along except the one who insists on being top roo, of course, but this one boy in particular is just so easy to pick on. He runs from absolutely everything. Now of course, it's to be expected that he, as a silkie would be particularly kind and timid, but his brother is the one ruling the roost! So I have one silky that runs everything, and one who cowers at the very bottom under everyone's feet. He even runs from the teeny black chick who still peeps. Any suggestions on how I can raise his self esteem at least enough so he won't be so flighty?
