That's a rooster's biological responsibility - ALL of them will do that. The key is to get a rooster that's not going to try to take you out in defense of his hens.

 

There are lots and lots of mutt roosters on CraigsList, many for $0-10, and they would do just fine protecting your flock if you have no breeding objectives and just want to make more chickens.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

You can try any breed of Game roosters.  They're good at free-ranging, and I've heard a lot of good stuff about how they treat their girls.

Never heard of or known disappointment in American Gamefowl, Oriental Gamefowl, and Araucanas (real ones that don't have any tail)
