Adding New Chickens to an Silkie Flock

[joshbparker]

I need to know what chicken breeds get along well with silkies. I need more chickens and don't know what to do with a breed. Any ideas? Thanks

I have silkies and Sussex bantams they get along fine

Why don't standard size chickens gat along with them???? What about Cochins??

As far as I no any breed can be in a flock with any other breed. The only issue with silkis is the are so docile they end up at the bottom of the pecking order. From the research iv done tgey can mix with any size breed. One of my silkies is raising two red star chicks whixh will b bigger than herself soon!
