Are Silkie roosters good or bad?

[svchic]

I am ordering Silkies and am going to get a rooster. Do they have good temperaments? Are they good with their ladies? lol Any pictures would be wonderful!!!! Thank you!!!!!

 

[Teach97]

silkies are evil and will try to take over your mind....they are in it for world domination run for your life!!!!

 

[svchic]

Are you serious? I have heard that Silkies are the most docile bantam.

I have a Bd. Blue Silkie male that is as gentle as a lamb.....and a real Don Juan with the ladies....very gentle and soft spoken..... I'd be happy if his sons are just half as nice as him.

A.) evil little boogers

B.) Sweetest little guys.

(Also Note: depends on the blood line. Hatchery bloodlines could be (SUPER nice, OR super mean)

I really appreciate your fantastic answers!!!!!! I will be expecting wonderful bloodlines from the hatchery I am going to order from!!!!

Which hatchery?

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

My Silkie roosters are the friendliest roos I have, very good with the hens

 

[svchic]

Murray McMurray Hatchery, and I am encouraged that the roos that you have, ChickieBooBoo, are great!

The ONE Silkie I ever had experience with was a hatchery quality (rather ugly!) Buff cockerel who I got for free and ended up butchering for food. He was the sweetest, calmest rooster in the whole bunch of roosters I ended up bringing home that day.
