Silkie chick bullying

[paradisecain]

I am brand new to raising chickens and I need some help. I decided to start with 2 silkie chicks just as pets, but I'm having trouble with 1 chick being aggressive towards the other. (Pulls on legs, pecks at beak, eyes, and feathers). My silkies are approximately 5-6 days old. I wanted to try adding 2-3 more chicks to try to help with the bullying, but having trouble finding silkies close to the same age. My question is can I add any breed of chick with my silkies or would it make the situation worse?

Any photos of your current set up? Or your coop and run?

If adding chicks that aren't Silkies, what breeds are you looking at? Will you be adding extra space to your coop and run to allow for these extra birds? Or are you willing to rehome them in case there isn't space, if you're restricted in size of coop and run. Adding more birds is rarely a good solution.

Maybe this post and article will help you solve the issue: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chick-pecking-other-chick.1430088/#post-23567316
