Need advice

[The Hustons]

I need some advice ! I have 6 red sex links or golden comets. idk exactly what they are because they were suppose be BUFF ORPINGTONS (still upset about this) from tractor supply. And I have 6 silkies. They are all 6 weeks old. Our coop/run was finished yesterday so we put everyone in together for first time jus before bedtime ..then they went to separate sleeping areas. Today when I let them out my red sex links ,couple diff ones pecked my lil white silkie (they are all black just one white) they went outta their way to do it too..grrr big bossy birds. I gave them a tap on the head & swat on rump everytime I saw it. Soooo being that their is a ridiculous size difference do I leave them together & let things get established or section off my run & separate them. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!!

As long as you have more than one chicken the size of you white silke (which I assume your black silkies are) it should be okay.. Make sure there is enough room for the Silkie to get away from the bullies. Only separate them if they are making her badly bleed or something.

Yea all my lil silkies are same size one is extra lil but it's not the white one lol. No blood shed so far thankfully.. They jus kinda stay two separate lil groups . Thank you soo much!
