ill probably go with bantams can yo keep bantams with silkies and i heard that silkies go broody alot and how do you get them out of broodyness?

If you do a search for broody chickens, there's quite a few threads about how to deal with them. Basically if you don't want them to hatch any eggs, keep their bums cool for a few days
