I sell silkies of both Pet Quality, & Show Quality types. But I have the feeling you're too far from my location.

We're are you located? I might be not far...

East Tawas Michigan, keep my birds in Tawas City, which is rural/farm land.

Only have one rooster and he is good with us. But he and my Lamancha buck can't stand each other and the rooster seems to be the instigator every time!

I only had one mean roo so far. But i loved him. Prince was my baby-child lol. He was great with his ladies and would probably have defended them to the death, but he got meaner and meaner towards humans. I tried to tame him again and force him to love me. Then I tried to make him fear me and know I was boss 'round here. Nothing worked. The last straw was when he started to learn to stalk me and run at me only when my back was turned. I have quite a few scars from his attacks.

He met his maker early one morning and is buried in our pet cemetery. I couldnt bring myself to eat him or even feed him to my dogs. And I wouldnt chance giving him away where he might injure someone.

RIR roosters tend too be very human aggressive. Only had one friendly RIR rooster with all my years of raising them. We had too many.

His brother, Kyle, is a sweet heart. Kyle took over the flock now that Prince is gone and is super nice and have never even attempted to challenge me. He maybe more human submissive since Prince used to whoop his butt. Kyle squats if I approch him. and follows me around for food and comes when he is called.
He is still learning to be gentle on his ladies those.. He obviously has his favorites
