The only somewhat mean ones I have are the head hens in each pen. They will fight each other if I let the pens out into the courtyard together. The roosters usually ignore each other but some are best buddies. The hens pull hair and fight like middle school girls. They ignore the lower ranking ones, though
It could be buff, but it’s pretty dark. Possibly red! The buff silkies I’ve produced are usually a yellowish orange as chicks. Where did you pick them up? Hatchery chicks are usually the more basic colors where as breeders are where you get more specialty or “designer” colors.
