What is this chicken thinking?

Sorry to hijack this thread for a moment, but I've got a question for SuperSilkies...

I was at a swap meet today and saw some Sebrights. I was completely smitten with them, but all my other birds are large frame, and a couple are a little aggressive. But from that picture, it looks like you've got Sebrights integrated in the flock OK. Am I over-thinking this?

The other thing I was wondering is what size egg a chicken that small lays. My flock's main purpose is laying eggs, but I would like it if the birds could be attractive and diverse as well.

hahaha no clue why they do it but the sebright hen likes to burrow under some of larger chickens. maybe for warmth?.

My 2 Production Red's do it as a sign of submission. They are bottom of the pecking order. When on the roost and one of the other hens starts pecking for the spot they are in, they will climb under them like a chick does with mom.
