Well here's my dilemma, I live in the city...I am allowed by law to have 25 chickens...I currently have 13 hens and I just hatched 10 BBS ameraucanas but I am only keeping 2 of these guys and selling the others on...so this will give me 15 hens...they have a big yard that they free range from morning to night as well as a good size enclosed run and coop if needed.

But now I WANT two silkies to add to the flock and I want to hatch them NOW...my ameraucanas are only a week old!

Am I being greedy and not thinking of the birds space and wellfare? Am I becoming a chicken hoarder? My friends already think I am a crazy chicken person.
Will silkies be ok in a flock of different breeds...orpingtons, Cochins, ameraucanas, BCM....? Will they be picked on for being fluffy?

If you are selling most of your new hatched you already have and are only keeping 2 silkies, then I think you're okay
