phoenix temperament

[sebright_breeder]

i just ordered a breeding pair of phoenix's and a orpington rooster i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the phoenix will be gentle towards him or not if anyoce can help it would be great

I've worked with a handful of them and they were all friendly in general, though a bit on the hyper side IMO

roosters fight

I believe that should be a rule with ALL chickens, heck all poultry! If there are ladies to be had, they'll go at it!

the? ask well the phoenx rooster get along with the orpington rooster probly not

 

[JTRZWestminster]

I severely doubt the Phoenix rooster will get along with any other rooster. I have one myself and he is very belligerent to the other rooster, even though the other was here and established first.

For the last four years I have had Phoenix and Dorking roosters running together, with younger cockerels until they get sold or eaten. I have only had one fight between the alpha and second. I sold the deposed alpha.
None of them are the same age and they are free range during the day.
If I were to try to bring in an adult rooster I am sure that the established males would attack on sight.
