roosters attacking silkie

[katmoog]

I have two roosters that have pecked a hole in the back of my silkie's neck. They are not trying to mate with her just being mean. They seem to be o.k with other silkie and other chickens. I am currently nursing the silkie back to health and keeping her isolated. When she is better will they keep picking on her. Do they have to go!!!!!

I'd watch them carefully as they can easily kill a silkie with a blow to the head. I' raise silkies and some have a vaulted skull. Making them extremely likely to get hurt or killed or brain damaged if they are pecked in the head. Do you know if your silkie is vaulted or not? Be very careful. I might re home the rooster before he does serious damage to the silkie. That's my thought. Hope this helps and I wish you the best!
