What do you want to do?? I would be happy with them separated---like you got them.

i want them to be together because i have a small yard and i was planing to do a garden...where my silkies are now....

You choose 2 completely incompatible breeds. Silkies should be kept with other silkies or other gentle bantam breeds. Sex links are a confident active breed that can be aggressive in small flocks. I personally would not try putting them together. Get rid of one group.

i can't do that...i was hoping they'ed get along ... oh well

Silkie can act a bit odd, which can trigger other breeds to attack them because of it, silkies can get pecked severely enough to kill them. Maybe garden in containers.

I had three silkies, but a fox killed it and two of my silkies got pecked severly (by sexlink), but they lived thankfully....and thank you!

thats a good idea (the garden thing)

Easier on the back too.
