Chirping
Hi there.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced something similar?
My Silkie chicks are roughly 2 months old. Apart from the fact that they are too darn cute, they also appear to be somewhat violent toward each other. I've witnessed on numerous occasions that the go at each other to the point where they draw blood, not to mention the horrible screaming.
The screaming I can still live with as I've noticed that they are quite vocal when I handle them, but not so much the violent behavior.
I've attempted to assess who the culprit is, but it seems they take turns. Both cockerels and pullets are attacking each other.
They have ample food which provides the required nutrition. Water bowls are cleaned daily and they have roughly 50 meter squared between them (Mum, Dad & 10 kiddies) to free range in the front garden.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
