Silkie attacking other chickens

[DarthVeta]

Don't even think about keeping a bad tempered one.

So, his temperament is wonderful with humans. So odd. He will sit on my lap and let me pet him, totally chill when I hold him, everything. But is being mean to some hens. I definitely can’t keep him, but should I rehome him? Or is he going to be awful in another flock and needs to meet his end?
I read about chickens going bald from getting bullied and mine are not losing feathers at all. I want to believe there’s hope for this too to have a good life and it’s totally weird (being not a farmer) to think of my pet as dinner even though I eat chicken all the time. But really, what’s the best thing to do here? Can he be trained to be good elsewhere?

Your Silkie is 100% a Cockerel!

Sorry for the news, I know the feeling of having to rehome a well loved female that ends up actually being male.

Separate him now, to give the girls a break.
Put up an ad for a free silkie cockerel, and don't ask any questions.

It's definitely a cockerel! So far, he's polite with humans, so maybe will work out elsewhere. A nice flock of mature hens may readjust his attitude a bit...
