Aggressive Rooster - Best Rooster Breed

[Helloworld]

This is why I raise Crevecours They are very docile amongst themselves and I house two roos with 4 girls. Time for him to go. We had a 2 ft tall, 16 lb RIR and he was nice to everyone but us. The people who wanted him knew of his “condition” and gladly took him home-
in her lap. Yep. We called him Chan because he could do a kick before you knew what happened. Bye bye Roo!

Over the years with roosters, attitudes will likely change.
First one, many of us put up with awfulness way too long.
Then, it's about 'fixing' a bad boy.
Then, 'three strikes and you're out'.
Then, finally, don't think a bad thought!

I agree with the others, it's time for him to go. I've only had one mean roster. He was a small bantam, maybe 25oz. He was a mean little though!
One day he jumped and went for my face. He was dispatched seconds later. I have 1&5 year old boys that he could have genuinely hurt. He was small, but a claw to an unsuspecting child's eye is no joke.

I say you take a vacation to California and get that pretty fella @Peppercorngal has.

My rooster is ginormous, but I'm telling you even my little serama hens can be scary when they are raising chicks lol. Size does not matter.

I definitely agree he has to go. I would love a roo that would produce hens that laid pretty colorful eggs. We have 16 different egg laying breeds. Mostly brown egg layers, but we do have an Easter Egger that lays light green, a Blue Ameraucana that lays blue, two welsummers that lay dark speckled, a black Copper marans that will lay dark eggs, an olive Egger pullet. I want a roo that would produce pretty egg crosses.

I love Seramas!
A'pollo here is a sweetheart, but is the alpha with his flock. Let the Silkie cockerel step out of line, A'pollo is on it.

I'm no expert, but I would think a rooster from any breed that produces colored eggs, would alter the color of the rest of your hens offspring's eggs.

I have two more roosters, Greybeard and Bill that are Ameraucana/Welsummer crosses. They have beards and muffs, are pretty sweet and I need to get rid of one, come choose!

This is Bill

This is Greybeard, rather obvious why he got that name!!

Come get at least one!

Since they are crosses, their color and other characteristics don't really matter. What I would probably do, if they are the same age and from the same cross is to check the distance between the keel bone and the pelvic bones. The cockerel with the larges distance between those bones will likely impart to his female offspring a greater abdominal capacity for egg production.

I think the OP said that she was looking for egg color, not production. ?????? The hens from this batch of incubator eggs are laying olive eggs.
