Pure Silver Phoenix Rooster!!

[The_Coop]

In February, I got an order from Murray McMurray hatchery for 20 chicks that were supposed to be hens. Since then, 5 of them have grown up to become roosters including the special one! The special on, I found out from research and questions, turned out to be a Pure Silver Phoenix. I am, however, getting rid of the four other roosters which are speckled Sussex roosters which are much bigger then the Silver Phoenix.
My questions are:
1) Will this rooster be able to protect my hens alongside my goose?
2) How big will this rooster become?
Thanks!

Phonenix are beautiful chickens--especially the roosters! I do not know much about them, but I hopefully someone else can answer your questions.

Phoenix are not really big, the standard of perfection for poultry lists them at around 4 1/5 to 5 1/2 pounds (whereas like a sussex end up being 7 1/5 to 9lb!)

I would only be concerned if you got the bantam variety, they weigh 24-26oz but like all roosters will probably still try to protect your flock!
