silkie-friendly chicken breeds?

You're gonna have better luck keeping more bantams with your silkies.

My separated coop is silkies and polish. They get along great (at least in my experience). I have two Roos in there, one Silkie named Candy and one Polish named James Dean

ah, thats cool! I have a similar current situation, my two roos are a silkie and a polish/silkie mix.

this is awesome. I'll save this list, thank you!

There isn't exactly a specific breed silkies can't get along with. Been raising, & breeding silkies for years now, they're quite hardy.

The ones I stand clear of is the Silkies with Vaulted skulls, since the bone that covers the brain is ultra thin, & one good bonk on the head could be a death sentence for them. So I only go for the non Vaulted skulled Silkies.

I only have one Vaulted skulled hen, so far she's doing good. I keep an eye on her.

My roo James Dean is the friendliest chicken we have. He knows his name and looks to find me when I call him
