Hello,
I'm Dan from Oswego, NY.
I've been raising my chickens for a little less than a year now.
I've got too White Silkie Roosters that are now grown, and 6 Red Star Hens, that are my layers.
I live on the outskirts of the city, but almost in the country, so i have my coop and a penned in area for all of them.
I'm loving it and I am in the planning stages of building another coop and run for some more chickens.

Only issue I am having is that my two white silkies, which I raised from chicks, are now aggressive to each other.
So I bought pinless peepers in the hope that it would chill them out, but somehow, they still found a way to nip each others combs. It looked like someone dumped red kool aid on them. I have them seperated right now. Wish there was something I could do, but I feel like one of them will be the patriarch of my new coop once it's built.

Thanks for having me on your forums.

from California, sorry my Silkies can barely see each other with all the fluff, so never had that problem.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC

Strange that they are aggressive to each other now. Are they both roosters? Put some Blue cote on their wounds, that should help a bit. Good luck!

! Great to have you with us! I've never had silkies but from everything I've read they are almost never aggressive - so...
