Silkies and Pekins

[Ilovechickens119]

Hiya guys this weekend I bought two gorgeous silkie hens, Minnie and muffin and I already have two little Pekin bantams names Tilly and blue. At the moment, the silkies are in a separate run as they are not getting along great with the pekins and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to make them become friends abit quicker! Thanks for any replies!

The chicken social order is sort of like 'mean girls in high school'. It will take them a while to work things out. Given enough space to avoid one another, it will eventually happen.

They do have the odd fight but nothing that looks painful...?

So you already put them together in the same coop and run?

well the other day I let them al out into a big enclosed area together but didn’t want to leave them unsupervised just in case. Do you it’s better if I just let them work it out?
