Which of these chicken breeds (listed below) will get along best/are gentle with Silkies and Polish?

Plymouth rocks, Wyandottes, Black sex links/Black stars, Ameraucanas/Easter eggers, Orpingtons, Welsummers and Barnevelders.

Please list all breeds (that you are aware of) that are compatible with Polish and Silkies.

Thank you!

The problem with Polish and silkies in mixed flocks is that they are smaller and have diminished vision because of their crests. When raised together with large fowl as chicks sometimes things go smoothly. In other instances they are picked upon and may even have their crests pecked off. In my experience Orpingtons are among the more mellow breeds, but there are aggressive and mellow birds in all breeds.
