Hi all...
(have kept chickens most of my life, various types and rescued ex batts) childhood had two silkies..
Currently have 2 new young Silkies around 19 wks, but want to add more and have a mixed colour small flock..
Only I have read some bits and bobs about Silkies fighting.. (can anybody here tell me, if they have also experienced on going problems with silkies fighting?
Is this a very common thing? or did you experience nothing more than the initial scuffle? like hens do!)
Just trying to find out if fighting is a common problem among a flock

Thanks in advance for any feed back
 
We have had Silkies for several years. Although they haven't seemed to have been as mean as the other breeds they still have shown their dislike for new birds. So you may want to to have a introduction phase just like you would other breeds.
 
I have 2 silkies and have just bought a new one today, how would I introduce her to the other two as at the moment their not getting on very well
