Silkie roosters are usually really sweet. I kept 3 of them together for quite a few years (until they individually died of old age). They were my pets when I was a kid, and I don't think they were all Silkie either. The hen might have been, she had the really dark skin and a nice top knot. My mother didn't want a lot of chickens so my hen only hatched eggs once, predators got 2 and the ones left roosters. They lived for years there with their parents. And they all fussed over that hen, calling her over whenever they found a bug or something good to eat and she would run over, grab, and go! I don't think that would have worked for any other breed, but I didn't know any better and I guess no one told them they weren't supposed to get along either! Trouble comes when you try to keep them with other bigger chickens that aren't so nice. Oh, and bantams come in about as many types as regular chicken breeds, it just means they are bred to be small. Silkies are bantams too.
