All roosters are not like this. I had a mean one and we came to agreement on what he could and could not do (it involved quite a bit of intimidation by me). A predator took him, and frankly, I didn't miss him a bit. I now have a 4 month old cockerel (buff polish), who acts like he could not care less about people, dogs or small children. Could be the feathered tophat he sports! He can't see us
. There are other breeds that are known to be more docile than others (Buff Orphingtons, for example). You might have better luck with one of those.
