Right now I have 3 chicks in my brooder. A Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, a Jersey Giant, and a Silkie. Will I have issues having these breeds grow up together? I know the Jersey Giant will get much bigger than the other 2.
 
There shouldn’t be any issues, especially with them being raised together. I kept many LF with bantam silkies with no issues, they were in the middle of the pecking order. Silkies are docile and can be picked on because they look different, I personally have never had this issue, had NNs, Polishes, frizzled pekins in there so maybe it’s because they were all uniquely weird...
 
I've never had a JG. But from what I hear, they are indeed gentle giants and non-aggressive. However, should the JG turn out to be a cockerel, then you would have a big problem, pardon the pun, which can't be helped when you're talking about JGs.

A JG roo would likely crush any standard hen while mating, and a bantam breed wouldn't survive even so much as a interested gaze from a JG rooster.
