Same! I thought I'd always be in for the rough-and-tumble breeds - gamefowl and such - for life, and that birds like Silkies seemed so fru-fru and pointless - but ever since I really got into them, I've just about fallen in love. Oh don't get me wrong, they're definitely fru-fru and pointless, but they're the best kind of it.

And on that note, here's more picspam of Taylor. She's cuddling with me tonight while I rewatch Supernatural on my laptop! I'm so glad she's healthy and happy again.

So how would silkies do with bigger birds like RIR and rocks? I know my EE don't do well so I wondered.

I think it really depends on the individual bird. Lots of people keep large and small together and they do fine, but some just don't. If they were raised together they should be fine. Be careful if you have LF roosters and silkie pullets, that could end badly.
