Hey so how are silkie roosters temperment wise? Are they a little bit more mellow than other breeds? I was thinking about hatching some silikies in the spring, it seems easier to bring new chicks in that why rather than trying to integrate new chickens into an existing flock. I have a Russian Orloff rooster right now, would it be a problem to have a silkie rooster in the flock as well?? Heres a pic of my new blue silkie. My white silkie hatched her. SO cute!

generally silkie roos are less aggressive "towards humans". However, my silkie roos will defend their hens even against my largefowl Orps. I have a "backup breeder" silkie roo that will win any
skirmish with any roo. He goes for the "kill" and can cause good damage.
