I know from reading up at BYC that certain breeds are more apt to produce psycho roos and I've read everything I could find on here about their psychology. Is it to be assumed, though, that any breed can produce psycho roos, however rare? For instance, with the various fluffmeister breeds; has anyone had, say, a Brahma roo that went postal on handlers? Any personal experiences? Still trying to prepare myself for my future flock.
A few months ago I drove about 80 miles r.t. to buy a purebred Black Copper Marans rooster (for $30) to replace the one I'd lost to what I assume was a hawk or fox. Last Saturday he went to a new home, after charging DW once & me 3 times. I've had my fill of aggressive roosters.
Iv'e heard brahmas are similar, but do know you can get a rotten boy with any breed.I know from reading up at BYC that certain breeds are more apt to produce psycho roos and I've read everything I could find on here about their psychology.

No, it’s not a hard choice for me at all. I want him gone - as I’ve said many times in the last 18 hours since it’s happened. My husband is convinced that we can try to find a way to keep him and I merely just wanted to make sure that I was fully educated before just simply telling him no and hashing it out however necessary. I by no means would be able to kill him myself unless he was in the middle of attacking my children and it was the only way to stop him. I would just simply rehome him if my husband was just that adamant and ignorant.
We have never had a rooster let alone an aggressive one. We most definitely want one to protect our girls and to be able to fertilize and hatch our own eggs.
