Gammas Bearded Babies
Crossing the Road
I have three 8 month old silkies that were hatchmates. 1 is a cockrel and 2 are hens.
Both hens have been laying eggs for 3 months or so now.
My question is regarding the hen high on the pecking order...Milli. She has always been her own self and very skittish and even refuses to let Mango (roo) get near her much less do anything.
I am re-homing Mango since I have 8 week old babies and 2 are roos I would prefer to keep for breeding line. I hate to send him away without his favorite girl Vanilli and I've been thinking she would be almost as bad as he would be without her.
So if Milli has never been close to either of them, what are the chances she would get along and eventually mate with the younger roos in the future once they mature? I would like to keep her for breeding line as well since she is a silkie and babies are all satin silkies.
Thank yall for your feedback.
