I had a Silver Laced Polish roo along with 6 RIR hens. The hens were merciless and picked his til feather out to the point of his back being raw. I even trimmed his feathers around his eyes so he could see them coming at him but it didn't help much. As for his temperament, well he was the sweetest roo we have ever had. I ended up re-homing him after 1 year. He might do well with other more docile breeds. If you have RIR I wouldn't get him.
