Are silkies as aggressive as other chickens

[babsi]

I have two EE and one Barnevelder and one Silkie. I love my Silkie, I only like one of the other hens as far as temperament is concerned. One is bullying my Silkie. I am tempted to let all three live somewhere else and get five Silkies to add with my one.
Is that a good idea? Will there be just as much drama with Silkies as with full size chickens? Pecking, bullying, etc...?

It's pretty common for silkies to get picked on. If you're just wanting "pet" chickens and don't mind poor egg production, then in your shoes, I'd probably try to rehome the 3 other hens and get the 4 silkies. It's possible the chickens you have now will stop bullying the silkie, but it's just as likely (maybe moreso) that they'll keep it up.
