Hi all. Two Roos raised together since hatchlings. One Buff Orpington and one Black sex link/barred rock. Sexlink/barred rock always clearly the dominant but so sweet. They were best buds until recently. They are a little over a year now. They normally roam on our property during the day, locked in coop at night. Kept them in their run for a few days due to hawk attacks. After a few days I let them roam again. BO lost part of his comb from what I thought was a hawk attack. Kept him separated for a day or two while I mended him. Shortly after I released him into the yard sex link/barred rock attacked him (not so sure now if it was a hawk that initially attacked him) Can they ever be able to coexist peacefully again? Thought to isolate the dominant one for a few days to try and even the playing field. Suggestions?
