Good. I was thinking so, but sometimes people say that game roosters are just awful and will fight with any other rooster...We have lots of space, and will soon have lots of chickens...right now I have only 12, and in that are 2 adult roosters and 3 hens, and 7 almost 5 month olds...We started with only 3 hens and 1 big roo..then I got this mama hen and her 7 peepers, then I got an adult silkie rooster, and at first I wasn't so sure, so after quarantine was over I moved the Silkie roo in his own cage into the coop so everyone could see everyone else, and then in a few days that seemed to be going well and I let the silkie out and he was very cautious, but as soon as the big rooster saw him he flew at the silkie and the silkie ran off, and now they are friends outside of the coop. Inside the coop the silkie keeps his distance, but they have a system...the big rooster now grazes with the hens while the silkie looks out...So the silkie will alarm and then the big rooster will move everyone away...I do notice that I never see the big rooster mating, and I never hear any scuffles in the coop and none of the hens are ever fluffed looking, But the eggs we were getting before the silkie were fertile as far as I can tell--the big roo must be very quiet about it...but anyway, the silkie does the rooster dance and postulates for the girls, because he is only 9 months old but the big roo won't let the silkie mate any of the hens, he also doesn't allow any infighting in the coop at all... But they get along, in the coop it is avoidance, and outside they are a team...side by side never see one without the other...it's weird, but I like that they get along..and the silkie keeps roosting closer and closer to the big roo. I really like one of the cockerels that is only 5 months old...I think he will make a very fine rooster. He is already larger than his mom, and just good looking I think. For whatever reason I seem to like big white roosters...He won't be as big as our "big rooster" but he looks like he'll be a good size. It's funny but when I first got the mama hen and the chicks they were their own flock within my flock, but now the mama is part of my original flock and the babies act like their own flock. Big flock holds rank, but then there is a system between all the underlings as well. I like watching how they interact. But the white cockerel is totally king of the small chickens. Lol.
He'll do this fluff chicken cobra dance that trips me out...til the big rooster fixes him with a dinosaur stare.
