PLEASE RESEARCH the temperaments of the breeds of roosters you wish to keep. I have kept RIR, Dark Cornish and EE roosters. The EE roosters were mild and I could handle them. The other two breeds' roosters attacked me, especially in larger numbers. My first clutch of chicks had 5 RIR roosters and 1 hen. It took my 2 dogs running in and pulling them out by their tails to get them to the pens that used to take them to the chicken auction. Now, I would use a net and butcher. When roosters are aggressive they will fight like game birds, to the death, and crouch and jump up and go after your eyes. Do you want this to happen to a child bc you wish to believe that a 7 pound bird isn't dangerous? You must be careful misusing the words "sweet" and "rooster" in the same sentence. This passes along misinformation and most of us here didn't grow up with chickens.
