Hello, I have recently hatched out some faverolle eggs under a broody silkie. Whilst she was sitting on them, and up until yesterday I have kept her isolated in a box in the garage to bring up her single (out of 5 other eggs that didn't hatch) faverolle chick. The chick is now 8 or 9 weeks old, and almost as big as her mother and her mother's two sisters (the other two silkies constitute the rest of the entire flock). There's a single silkie, however, who has taken an aversion to the mother and chick, and pecks them at the slightest opportunity. Any helpful ideas as to how to integrate?
They currently live in a sectioned off part of the run during the day, and their original box at night. The silkie that doesn't like either of them is constantly up against the wire trying to get through to peck them.
Thanks in advance, and before you say... yes, I realise I'm incredibly lucky that the only chick to hatch should be a pullet
