Seramas, silkies and ?

[CatWhisperer]

I have had a mix of large fowl layers and gentlemen for several years. Local daddy fox has me down to 2 2 1/2 yr old hens that didn’t lay for months last winter. My last 4 hens were bought as pullets and never tame like my first batch of chicks. I am pretty much starting over with fun stuff, seramas and silkies. I would like to add a very few for eggs and perhaps a boy for them. I want friendly chooks who will mingle well with S & S’s. Originally wanted Polish for adorable appearance but lately have seen that favorolles might be a better option.
Suggestions?

Polish and faverolle may mix well, but every bird has it's own personalities. I would pick a bantam for the rooster.

I have too many tiny roosters. I am looking for a good large fowl breed for eggs that won6abuse the tiny chickens. Something fun and different.

Any large breed rooster will attempt to mate the tiny hens. You don't want a full grown rooster pulling and pecking at a silkies crest. You could end up with injuries, and potential deaths.

I have a Sultan Roo, which is a small breed. He's the darn cutest and so far quite nice to his ladies.

I don’t need a large fowl rooster for eggs. Thank you for pointing that out.

For good layers, I've heard Orpingtons are very gentle... as well as Australorps. You could also go with a sexlink hybrid.
All should be pretty happy if they're raised in the brooder together. My flock is small, but I had no trouble rearing 3 Brown Shavers with my white Silkie hen. They have 'never' bullied her and have been mixed since 1 week old.
