Welcome to BYC! "This is the place with the helpful chicken folks!" (sung to ACE hardware stores theme song)

It looks like you have a few Buff Brahmas, a light sussex, a silkie mix roo, a new hampshire roo, a few red sex-links, and a turkey! The New hampshire may not be right btw...

Hello! Thank you for your help! The silkie mix rooster seems mean and aggressive. Is that normal behavior?

 

[A.M. Eggs]

Since he is a mix, I can see that being normal behavior. Roosters are naturally aggressive.

Some roosters are aggressive and some aren’t. I personally do not keep or breed any aggressive boys.

I only keep the nice ones, which I feel are the majority.
