Beautiful birds, silkiecuddles!
Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place (I just joined BYC) - but I had a question for "The Silkie Thread":
In the "Things I wish I knew..." thread, people mentioned, generically, the idea that there were some breeds of chickens that really should not be kept together. I'm gathering info now and want to raise some chicks in the early fall. I'm intending to choose reasonably calm and docile breeds for a small suburban flock, and I hope to keep a silkie or two in a mixed flock of hens.
In your experience, are there any breeds that are hard to keep with silkies? And what were the problems you encountered?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
