Silkie hen trying to mate with turkey hen

[Heatherwicz]

So our silkie hen is running under our blue slate hen, squatting and getting low, the only thing is—it’s royally making our Jenny mad. She now stomps, chases and bites our silkie when she gets within two feet of her. Is there a way to curb both of them out of it? The turkeys don’t go for any of the other chickens, and the other chickens don’t try to be submissive.

Do you have a roo, it seem like this he wants to mate? That is all I can think of right now.

My assumption is that whenever she sees a bird that big she thinks "Rooster", he wants to mate. Do you have any roosters in your flock?

I have no roosters, only hens since my township doesn’t allow them

That is hilarious!
Silkie girl's got it bad!

Sadly, that girl is hankering for a roo... I can imagine how irritating it is for the Turkey

Next time she does that, just run over and give her a good rub on the back. So maybe she will think you're the rooster

Turkeys can be relentless when they get pissed off about something. Be aware that the turkey could easily kill your Silkie.
