I missed having a rooster too so I decided to get a D'Uccle chick last spring. I figured that if it turned aggressive I would be able to handle it. He is with 4 standard size hens. I haven't seen him mating but he does all the other "roostery" things. He's a bit aggressive but I am able to deal with that with no problem, all I have to do is watch him when I'm in their yard, and always have either a bucket or a small broom just to stop him from flogging, after I have been there for a while, he stops his attempts. I never hit him, I just protect myself. He's like a mosquito, just a little bother but so cute because of his size
