Gloss-Hen Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 A few days ago I put my maran bantam in with my 2 polands and my silkie. Now my maran took a dislike to my silkie pecking at her whenever she had a chance, I just thought it was the pecking order well i let my chickens out saturday morning. my silkie's neck was covered in blood I brought her in and bathed her neck which she enjoyed . My marans was in with our other flock but she was pecked a fair bit so we thought we'd put her in with my silkie which was not a good idea as i've found out but splodge (the silkie) is in our spare room being spoilt rotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Oh dear poor thing. All that fluff can hide wounds. When I had silkies I had to keep trimming their fluff around the eyes so they could see to keep out the way of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I hope splodge feels better soon - poor chook. I'm sure she s enjoying being spoilt though. I also trim my silkies round their eyes so they have a better view of the others coming xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
