Hi, I have 3 Barred Rocks (hoping they're hens) and am looking to add maybe 3 or 4 more birds to my flock. I'd love some silkies, but will the rocks hurt them with the size difference? The rocks were given to me as chicks, so I'm still waiting to see their gender. If they are roo's, will they crush the silkies? I'm only looking for more hens...
If silkies are not recommended, what other breed would be good? I live in Tennessee, so our weather is a lot warmer than when I was in Wisconsin!!
Also, how do you recommend introducing new hens to the coop? I don't want them to fight...
Thanks for your help!!
