Roosters are very aggressive and territorial and wouldn't just chill with homies.

My dad has had pet chickens for decades, and his roosters always chill. They're highly intelligent animals. If you give them lots of vegetation and space and provide for their basic needs and well-being, they don't really get too aggressive.
