We currently live in town and aren't technically allowed to have a rooster. With that said, there are at least three crowing roosters our neighbors have within a block each direction, lol. (One neighbor even has a ginormous broad breasted Turkey tom!)
With a one year old boy who's best friend is a buff orpington, I'd prefer a friendly pullet/hen BUT, if you've got an exceptionally friendly cockerel or rooster who isn't easily intimidated by toddler competition for the attention of his ladies, and you believe he could thrive and be a gentleman free ranging on a giant (3/4 acre) back yard all day, I would seriously consider him. My son absolutely LOVES our birds, loves sitting and watching them with me, loves going with me to collect eggs. (He's never left unattended with them, for everyone's safety.) I hate that the boys get such a bad rap. Yeah, there are some really nasty ones out there, but those ones really rough up the road for the ones with hearts of gold.
