Schijndelaar Thread

They are not interested in me much, only at snack time. They are more on the wild side. They are good protecters and I had no problem adding other roosters. So far there were no major fights

That is very good to know! I currently have more than a few cockerels, so it’s perfect that Schijndelaars can be with other roosters.

Hi! @spruett386 what is your Schijndelaar rooster’s personality like? Is he always friendly and willing to be held? And is he good to his hens? I’m probably going to get hatching eggs in the (hopefully near) future, and I’m very curious to know if the roosters are good boys.

Hey! I freaking love my Schijndelaars! Tim, my rooster, is just a big goo-goo baby and I can hold him as such. And Onion, my Schijndelaar hen, is as gentle as a lamb. They're a delightful pair.

They used to be super skittish but completely mellowed out. They're wonderful

That’s so cool! I’ve always had to cross my fingers for a sweet roo, so it’s great to know that the Schijndelaar roosters can be sweethearts.
