Silkie too and standard hens

[josh74]

We have 3 Silkie roos and 11 standard hens. Relocating our RIR too that is way aggressive. The question is, could we have 1 or 2 of the Silkie roos in with the hens?

if the roosters get on and don't fight then yes you can run more than one with your hens as long as they get one, don't fight and have enough girls between them.

Quite often i have heard of having banty roos with standard hens, the main thing would be your ratios otherwise the boys will fight over the girls.

I find my standards dislike most of the silkie roos but they have never been raised with a cockerel so that could play a role. I always go with try and be prepared to change it lol
