Excellent advice. You get my vote as "chicken whisperer" of the day.

Thank you...this is the method I am going to try...I feel bad locking Rocky up...but she's just not nice to the silkies! I wonder if Buffy will take over Rocky's position when she's gone???

That's a good idea...I can put their old brooder in the coop with a mini-door cut in the side so they can run and hide if they want or need to....thanks!!!

Sooo this morning I put the buff & barred (Buffy & Rocky) in the dog crate coop and let the silkies have free run of the big coop...going with the 'jail the aggressor' theory...

Buffy just went about her day, pecking at the ground in the dog crate and didn't seem bothered at all...but Rocky (the barred rock that is the aggressor) immediate was distrubed that the silkies were in her coop...she started to try and squeeze her body thru the chicken wire, pecking at it, pacing, etc...

MY CONCERN...IS IT POSSIBLE that Rocky might take her agressions out on Buffy...who is an innocent bystander at this point...but not confident to put Buffy in with the silkies just yet...and I don't have a third place to 'jail' Buffy this week

Should I be concerned for Buffy's safety??
