Can you go see where the silkie would be? It sounds like the perfect trade for both of you , except that you don't really want to give up the silkie.
Yes, they can be traumatized to death, but it's unlikely the other chickens would put out the energy to do that? My advise is to go see the other chicken, and then do what you want.
I have some smaller chickens that the others won't let eat, they chase them off, but I provide a fenced in area with a small tunnel for them to run in, they learned this remarkably fast, now they can eat in peace, and the bigger older chickens can't get in there, maybe you could do something similar for your silkie? and get that one a friend...eventually they may get along together, but you might have to confine the big birds too.
good luck with your decision

I would definetely get another silkie so she can have her own friend!!

Whenever i get new chickens i always get either 2 or 3 so they have their own little clicks!! I have 3 or 4 little clicks right now. They are so cute acting like little kids on a playground all playing with their own friends. I have to say that this has really worked out because i rarely see any picking on each other.

I hope this is the right place to ask, I am new to this website but have had my chickens for about 2 years 2 of our 5 girls have gone to the big coop in the sky, we want to introduce 2 chicks into the group of 3 mature hens, question is, will the mature hens hurt/kill the young or will they mother them? we hope to trick our broody hen into thinking that the chicks are hers. Please respond in here as well as in pvt message as I am unsure how to navigate the site yet thanks, hattiesmom
