How well do these get along together and with their humans?

Little Coop on Salt Creek · Feb 18, 2017

I am looking at a flock of EE, Ameraucana, Speckled Sussex, Favorolles, Austrolorps, Orpingtons. Generally speaking what will "play nice" with us and those hens: Wyandottes, Welsummers, and Barred Rocks? I have heard and read those 3 breeds can be overly bossy and/or aggressive. I know this is hugely subjective, but can I have some weighing in on opinions from those who have kept these ladies together? Thanks a bunch everyone!!

I have, at one time or another, kept flocks with all of those minus the favorolles and true ameraucana and have never had any issues.

I have an EE and barred rock in my flock now. No issues. Our EE is our best layer, so far. One egg daily, even in February!
