Hey all!
I'm new to the chicken world, but absolutely fell in love with silkies, primarily for their friendliness. I was reading up on silkies though and read that they could be bullied by more extroverted chicken breeds. My question is what other breeds of chickens fit in well with silkies? I'd like to have somewhat of a mixed flock with some better egg layers splashed in, without sacrificing temperament or my flufferpuffs being attacked.

Raised from chicks in conjunction with Faverolles, Buff Orpingtons or other mellow breeds silkies can generally hold their own.
