When I was planing on getting birds I wanted friendly, calm birds and esp. roos that are not agressive. I LOVE my cochins. My birds very rarely peck me even when I check their nests. My roos are protective and dote on their hens, even occasionally warm a nest when the broody gets up to eat.
I only have cochins though maybe someone else can tell you how they act with other birds. A friend that has SQ old english is going to get some of my pullets to keep with his flocks to add a calm influence to his more flighty birds.
