I have to two Silkies..... Before they were fine, (I have had them for about 2 months), but now they just sit in the nesting box all day.
all night. They are terrified of all the other chickens, well 2 of my chickens are really mean to them, and that is the reason why the
Silkies are scared of them. My two mean ones (Bully hens) jump on top of the Silkies and peck them like you have never seen, they
are psycho!
This is getting really serious, to the point where I have to take them out myself so they can eat and drink dramatically. Whenever I put
the Silkies out with the chickens or they are in the coop and a chicken walks in, they do a very stressful cluck, and jump right back
in the nesting box, they are super stressed and terrified now...
I don't know what to do? Do I have to get rid of them, (As in give them back to the lady I got them from?), or will they eventually just
grow out of it...?
