Hi all, I have 2 silkies and 2 pekin chicks all 6 weeks old. Have just rescued a 1 week old silkie today and placed her with the other chicks. The silkies welcomed her warmly but the pekin kept pecking her. I eventually removed her. This evening I have placed the chick with the 2 silkie chicks seperate from the 2 pekin chicks. Am I being over protective? Weather permitting (I live in Ireland
) I plan to put them all together in their outside run and keep an eye on them. Any other suggestsions? Thanks.
