Chirping
Hello,
We have 2 1 yr old silkies and we have 5 7 we old silkie chicks. We put our oldest 2 in a wire pet pen and the 5 younger ones in another so that they all could see one another and maybe start getting introduced. The older 2 just squawk like crazy the whole time. We tried holding them and showing them the babies but that didnt stop the squawking. Is this normal and will they stop eventually? The baby chicks are all squeaking of course because I think they're scared of the noise from the older two. Not sure if we're doing this right or not. They will all eventually need to get along and be one cohesive flock hopefully. Any advice would be appreciated.
