can silkies and marans live together peacefully?

[afieldssnowyegger]

Hi!

i'm getting some eggs to hatch soon and i have some silkies, marans, and polish eggs coming...... i'm planning on giving the polish away when they're past brooder age, but i'm keeping the silkies and marans. i also have some super sweet little EE's (not aggressive at all, very docile, barely even any pecking order issues with bullying).. I'm wondering if I can keep the silkies, marans, and EE's together peacefully? I know there's no concrete answer, as it depends on the individual personalities too, but I'd just like some opinions on this especially if anyone has experience with these breeds.

Thanks!!!!

I raised silkies and Marans together. No problems at all. Ended up selling all the Marans except for one. We have other standards as well, but she prefers the company of her silkie "sisters". One of my silkies is the lead hen of all of them!

I have silkies and marans and a lot of other different breeds all living happily together. but I suppose trouble could arise if they didn’t have enough space. Ofcourse that’s true with any breeds!
