I have a friendly rooster. Last spring I received 19 chicks and 4 were Barred Plymouth Rock boys. All 4 were very friendly from the beginning. They would fly onto the edge of their box whenever I came to take care of them. Then they would fly onto my arm whenever they could. Once they reached "adulthood", their behavior changed. Originally all 4 were very friendly. Now one is moderately friendly. I can easily pick him up and pet him and he comes towards me whenever he sees me.So I've tried Googling friendly roosters but can't come up with anything... We purchased 4 pullets (or so we thought) last spring. One of them actually turned out to be a cockerel. We got them when they were pretty young. Long story short... I hand fed them treats and always interacted with them when they were younger (still do). Any way, fast forward to now, our rooster is the friendliest! He has never tried to peck at us or attack us and let's us pick him up and pet him. He also falls asleep in my arms when I hold him. Has anyone else had this experience with a rooster and how do I keep up the momentum? Also, has anyone ever heard of eye pinning in birds?
You need to get rid of that mean one, a spurs or beak injury is like a monkey bite.I have a friendly rooster. Last spring I received 19 chicks and 4 were Barred Plymouth Rock boys.

Second is almost as friendly. I have to follow him a bit to catch him to pick him up. He will start walking away when he sees that I want to pick him up, but does not run and does not object when I do pick him up.
3rd is now running away from me. I don't think I can catch him.
4th has actually tried to fight me multiple times. Faced me straight on, feathers fluffed and full on rooster attack.
So four were friendly and now have 4 different personalities that span the spectrum.
There are lots of friendly roosters. There are lots that aren't friendly but do the job they evolved to do. There are a few that are difficult.So I've tried Googling friendly roosters but can't come up with anything... We purchased 4 pullets (or so we thought) last spring.
