Would a buff orpintgon and silkies get along

[Bryce Thomas]

I would make sure the orp would be female and I only have 1 silky roo and 2 silky hens so would the orp hen get along with the 3? I wanna try and breed the roo and orp together

Yes, they could get along. There will probably be some squabble during integration though.

Orps are GENERALLY a docile breed. Chances are, after integration they'll be fine, but... All chickens are individuals. Just like any other living creature, you can't make any guarantees. Take the integration slow and see how it goes. Your chances are good and of the large breed chickens I'd say you're picking one of the best for the situation. I've had silkies (dont judge me. They were my girlfriend's) in with my mixed flock of large breeds and they did fine.
