Probably d'uccles or seramas. Faverolles are also said to be quite docile.

I’d want a more standard sized rooster for potential breeding and it would be housed with the other hens

Bantam roosters often can mate with larger hens. Maybe not seramas, though...

Welsummers seem to be a friendly breed, though I'm not sure about brahmas. Wyandottes are pretty nice, too.

Does ideal poultry usually ship “stuffer roosters” in their shipments?

Say one [standard sized or bigger] breed and I will add it to my order

All of mine do that too, except Parakeet. Only the good broodies act like you'd expect when they see a chick.

Yup. I've had three hatch chicks independently. Zealand was the best one.

What’s the best, friendliest, most attractive rooster?

Maybe not the prettiest, but my Buckeyes, both bantam and LF are the best roosters I've ever had. But mine are show quality, just saying, it might change something. I think he is pretty. And they are awesome for meat, too.

I was thinking maybe welsummer or light Brahma

My dark Brahma did good. He was bantam. Our Welsummer is fine, he might have the points on his comb endangered to frostbite. Ours is a little too wary of us to be friendly, but beautiful

I'm cuddling an adorable Ancona chick!

*makes fox fur vests for all the new chickens and Smaug*

Smaug now have fox vest with chicken-shaped holes cut in it. Very dapper.

Uh...you won't want one from a hatchery if you're planning to breed. In my experience, private breeders have the friendliest roos.
