I am attempting to find one a home amd eventually the other since I'm in the city and roosters cause problems. I was more worried about one killing the other but Since you said they...

    So I have a buff orpington pure and an araucana buff mix that are very hostile towards each other. The buff pure is more than likely a rooster with his tail and his waddle development being so high. My ara. mix has the tails and has a bit of a waddle but I have heard that is to come with the...
