Hello
I have a 9 month Silkie Rooster on the way, and I was thinking of housing him with with one of our standard bantam hen, would that be a 'yes' or 'absolutely not'?
I say this because I am squeamish to merge him completely with the other flock right away, or maybe just not at all. They're mostly english gamefowls, and I worry about him possibly getting bullied.
I am a beginner when it comes to these things, and my relative handles the flock, but the roost is one of my own chickens, so I'm sorry if it's maybe an absurd question! I'd appreciate any other tips as well or maybe other solutions. I just worry to have him alone too long before I am able to purchase another silkie to accompany him.
