Ameraucanas with Barred Rocks and Buff Orpingtons?

[LuvMahChikies]

Hello all! Thinking about getting a few Ameraucana's for the flock. I have Barred Rocks and Buff Orpingtons that are very docile. Will the Ameraucana's behave well with them? I really don't know a lot about the breed, and certainly don't want to bring in any hens that will be rough on my docile babies. Opinions on Ameraucanas?

I've had a mixed flock with those breeds, among others, and never had an issue. In my experience, any dual purpose type breeds get along well together. Ornamentals and games don't always do well with others. Having enough space for everyone is always more important than breed.

I have all those with no issues. In fact, my EE hen is below the Orphingtons on the pecking order because she's younger than they are. They are the queens!
