I recently introduced 3 new young silkies to my silkie roo. He immediately pecked on one of them and did it again to the same one the next time they were in the coop together. He didn't peck the other two. Does this mean he recognized the pecked chicken as another male?
Also, I keep seeing two of the young silkies fight each other. Does this mean that they are the same sex (hopefully female!) and are working out the pecking order? Or can roos and hens face off like this?
I know silkies are hard to sex so I'm hoping these behaviors are clues.
Thanks for any feedback!
