A few months ago, my family ordered 6 chickens from MyPetChicken; they will arrive around April 20. This will be our first experience being backyard chicken owners. We ordered 5 silkie bantams: 2 white, a black, a blue, and a buff. We also ordered one Golden Laced Polish. Now, it occurred to me that, with the Polish being the odd one out, it might be bullied, so I'm thinking of replacing the blue silkie we ordered with a White Crested Polish. While I read that Polish chickens are especially prone to bullying, particularly if there is only one, I also read that silkies are especially good at getting along with other breeds. Should I order that White Crested Polish to prevent bullying, should I order more, or am I worrying over nothing?
Note: Not sure how relevant this is, but all the chickens will be female.
