[Silkie Chicken]

i just put my silkie hen in the coop with my 2 month old silkie and polish chicks and the hen keeps pecking the hen what does this mean and should i keep the hen away please hurry and help it is about to storm and i need to know

They have to establish who is boss hen, this is normal. I leave alone but if there are any injuries from the pecking I seperate them. I also give plenty of hiding spots for the new comer like boxes etc. so they have a place to go to get away from the pecking hen

 

[Silkie Chicken]

will she kill them

 

[Silkie Chicken]

will they get along and can i keep them together

 

[Silkie Chicken]

[Silkie Chicken]

what if i do not give them a place to hide

 

[mnferalkitty]

Just keep checking on them and put hiding spots in, if you see any blood seperate the one that is pecking. they will get along once they have established who is boss
