So i have new silkies. They are in a separate run connected to the other one that my brown layers are in. I have to put the 9 week old chicks out in the run and bring them back to their coop in the evening . The run n coop are not connected yet. They can see each other, and are close enough to stick their heads into the new run. Well, one hen showed her dislike of them by making her head feathers all stand up in a circle around her head and made a sound to show her feelings about the newbies. Wish i had a pic of that. The pic shows how close the pens are. just wanted to share and I know its normal behavior.
