I bought 6 Silkie chicks at TSC that are now a day shy of 2 weeks old. They are very aggressive with each other, pecking, fighting, attacking my hand. I have never seen chicks act like this before and am worried I made a mistake in getting them. Everything about them tells me they are pullets too. I have wing sexed them, beak sexed them, leg/foot sexed them.. no sign of a roo except one possibility.
Has anyone else gotten Silkies from TSC and is noticing this same behavior? I have raised Orpingtons & Brahmas from chicks in the same brooder, they have plenty of room in there also. Is this normal for Silkie chicks? I'm doubting it is but have to ask. I'm worried and confused.
