Will this combo work?

[Cathy Carcas]

I have 2 adult commercial hens. I am currently rearing a polish and a silkie together who are 8 weeks old and it looks like they are both cockerels. Is there any chance at all that these 4 will live together in harmony or do I need to get rid of one of the cockerels? If so which is most likely to be ok with the hens? Any advice gratefully received

It's really unlikely to work. What you could try is pairing them off*, each with a hen. Those two are usually gentler breeds so you might not have many problems as pairs.

You are proposing a tough one, you have too many roosters, and you have standard breeds and bantam breeds.

Personally - I would not recommend a rooster in a 4 head flock. Generally, they are in smaller runs and coops, and two roosters are apt to be a lot of trouble.
I would not keep 2 roosters unless I had over 18 birds.

If you have a way of getting rid of a rooster, get rid of both, and get pullets.
