I have about a 6 week old blue silkie who charges all younger chickens, silkies and Easter eggers ( 4 weeks old n 5 weeks old) , peeks on them n is just terrible to everyone. She or he jumps up in air n tries to hurt them or be dominate not sure which! Im keeping her or him seperate in cage cause disharmony to group! Any ideas ? Sell her ???

Do you have a flock of older birds that might educate him/her? Keeping this bird isolated only prolongs the problem. Given enough space and time such behavior is generally minimized. Good luck in finding a solution.

How much space do these young ones have? How many of them? Enough feeders/waters? Can you add some obstacles?- like things they can hide around to avoid this 6 week old?
Often they will fight to work out pecking order but if there is blood or injuries then something needs to be done.

Can you add 'clutter' something like an upturned box with holes on the side so there are hiding places? .. It is hard to know without seeing myself how bad your little Silkie is but if there's no blood or injuries he might just be asserting himself as top chook. I wouldn't move him out, just add more clutter for hiding spots so the others can get away from him if needed.
If you are worried though you could sell him as you suggested yourself. I don't think it would be good if you keep him in a cage on his own.
