My Silkie roosters are SUPER docile. My daughter carries our black rooster around like a baby, and he just lays there and purrs. He's good to us, good to his hens and is even good with the cockerel that shares his coop.
The only issue I've had with my Silkies (roosters or hens) is that they tend to get picked on by other breeds/birds. My Japanese bantams shared their coop last winter and they plucked the crests off my roo and a few of the girls, they looked pretty awful for a while!
Obviously, I really love my Silkies, and I say get one if that's what you want. But you must understand, that there is the potential for a meanie no matter the breed. Instead of "getting some chickens from some chicken place" research some breeders in your area and buy your rooster from someone who takes the time to select for temperament. Places selling for profit tend to focus on quantity rather than quality, and in my opinion, your money will be better spent else where. Like a small time breeder who breeds because its something they love, not something they're looking to just make money from.
Best of luck to you!
