Silkies mesh perfectly fine. If it's a chicken it will breed to a chicken. I would suggest 5-6 chickens per rooster but always watch your hens and be sure he isn't beating up on them or them on himAs long as it's a chicken the breed doesn't really matter, I think the current general consensus on ratio is 1 rooster to ever 8-10 hens?
I would however avoid some of those breeds that may not mesh into the flock well like silkies : D

I understand. I have very unusual silkies that are top hen over standards and lay every day! LOLI've had issues with silkies not meshing well with the rest of the flock, thats why I mentioned it I know some have success but I know others have not, they also mentioned egg laying breeds and silkies are not known for laying many xD
So far I have one rooster and one hen I should get 4 more hen right? And roosters can mate with any egg laying hen breed ? Or does it have to be a specific breed
