We have a flock of mixed one year old hens that are amazing. One New Hampshire red, one white Orpington, two aracaunas, and five barred rocks, we had barred rock roosters, and only one per flock, but I had to kill the first one because he attacked me and my son, and had to kill the second one bc he was beating up on our favorite prized red hen... It's like he picked her out of the whole flock and made her a cast out. Can they do that?? Anyways, he was trying to peck her to death and I had to house her in a seperate coop. So, my question is, is there such thing as an easy going rooster bc we want to raise our own chicks, don't care if they're mixed, or are they all just a bunch of cocks?
