Hello,
I acquired 3 precious little silkies awhile back that integrated nicely into my flock with 5 larger hens. They were all 'supposed to be" hens. I knew there was a chance they could fool me and they sure have. Of the 3, 2 of them turned out to be roos...and they had to go.
This left my sweet little white silkie hen all alone and I though she would be fine but she isnt. The other hens nestle in every night on the roost bar and Wilma takes up a corner all alone and just sleeps. Shes no longer animated during the day and is always alone. I need to find her another hen or 2, or 3 where she wont be the outsider.
Everyone that has silkies only has babies. I dont want another repeat situation where I introduce a hen who I have to give away later. I also think a baby-baby would get hen pecked too hard.
Can anyone share a source for older pullets or hens that are HENS? If not, my sweet little Wilma is going to die of depression.
Im willing to drive 4-5 hours if I have to for a few hens.
