Our Silkie needs a friend!!

We recently got a silkie (our 1st chicken) from a flea market. She is supposed to be between 6 & 8 months old. Now we want to put another chicken with her that is a good egg layer. We want the new chicken to be just as sweet as our silkie but not to big. And what age chicken would be best? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well we went to a nice local place called the Hillbilly Hatchery. He had several different chickens for us to choose from. He had Japanese, Cochin, Old English, Silkies, and Seabrights. Just to name a few. Our oldest daughter fell in love with a black and white cochin. I believe it is called mottled, not to sure. But she named it "Oreo". So now we have "Blueberry" our silkie and "Oreo" our cochin. We introduced them to each other and they got along right away. Funny thing is that we thought Blueberry was sweet until we got Oreo. How lucky are we to have 2 wonderful chickens that our children love and so do we! Thank you everybody for your wonderful advice.

Sounds like you've worked it all out. Cochins and Silkies are my favorite breeds, they convinced me to sell all of my layers and now they're all I have :oops:
