i have read that brahmas, favorolles and BR are easy going roosters- by roo, BR is pretty easy going, never gotten agressive to me, but he does harrass the inlaws beagle- but he has learned not to if i am around, he actually stops when i say no....

Thanks Robin
I have had BR and RR and had very little problem, but these BO... UGH! I am down to the last two, and tomorrow I will be down to the last one. I REFUSE to be afraid of a bird! at least not one I can get my hands on.

Robin:
All of the breeds you mentioned are fairly docile, but most roosters in a flock type group will show some form of dominance over his girls. As long as your not expexting huggie pie kissey poo behavior from the Diminate Roo they should be ok. It is your job to fit into their world not yours if you catch what I am saying, As long as they know your roll in thier flock as the head honcho that takes care of them, then will gain respect and be able to interact as a family member.
I have all of these type roosters and they are all great boy's in my book no problems.

thats a real good point- its easy to forget that you need to let them be roo's- course mine is young, and is learning about protecting the girls- today he chased them all back into the brush - all wild life was gone, not a sound- and he was right, a big hawk flew over- i never let them out to have their hour of fun time unattended, but it was amazing how they listened to him- no, he is not a cuddle bug, even as a baby he was adamant- and my silky roo is that way too...

smfamf & Mallen - I used to work at Atwoods, horrible place for a chicken addict. The bands just mean that the hatchery sexed the chicks, and they are 99.9% sure to be pullets. Usually the sexed chicks are heavy dual purpose breeds. Our store usually got Leghorns, RIR, Barred Rocks, Australorps, and Sex Links.
TJ's NaNa - That is a BIG snake!! Scares me thinkin about kiddos comin up on it. They usually don't bother me, but we had a 4'5" Bull Snake in the yard where I keep the duck one day. THAT shook me up a little.
Grace - Ollie does need a buddy! I've been meaning to ask you! I will send a PM.
