Silkies and cochins seem to be very calm, all roosters react to the pressence of another unknown rooster so dont expect them to get along at first

Most of my silkie boys are fairly docile, but some folks have had aggressive ones. Probably the most aggressive roosters I ha ve ever encountered were bantam cochins. My current modern game bantam roosters are very docile, but I had a couple that were pretty aggressive. My plymouth rocks have always been quite docile, although I have heard tales about aggressive ones. Some lines of a breed tend towards being more docile or aggressive.

I agree, it's more about the line than the breed. I've had a completely wonderful Rhode Island Red, and they're supposed to be hellions. I had an aggressive EE I had to get rid of.

I think if you get your boy from a breeder, you can ask their philosophy about breeding. Ask if they cull for aggression. If they do, then their line is more likely to be non-aggressive than a breeder who only breeds for type/color rather than temperament.

That being said, I've never heard of an aggressive Cochin, either.

Another very aggressive bantam cochin at the county fair today. Quite frankly, most of the cochin roosters I have encountered have been aggressive.
