Ok i have an A rooster Americana named flutter, i think he is like 4-5 months and mostlikely weighs like 6-7 lbs. He is scared of my silkie rooster and a wus and i want another rooster who can protect my flock. I have like 15 hens and 3 silkie roosters, 2 bantams, and Flutter, they all get along but i want to know if Flutter is going to get very big or not? And what a huge breed is besides a Jersey Giant...?
Australorps are a friendly breed, and so are Cochins and Orpingtons. All are fairly large breeds. Main rule of thumb is you're never suppose to have more then one rooster together in one flock. You can have more then one rooster, but they should be in different flocks or they will fight.
Hope this helps!

Been raising chickens for 13 years. I own Australorps, Cochins, and Orpingtons.
Flutter will be okay, he will protect your hens, he just isn't old enough yet. Let him grow up some more and he will be fine. You can't put two roosters together, they will fight and one may kill the other. So just give Flutter a chance.
