I have a 7 month old Buff Orpington cockerel. So far, he has been great!
He is good to his girls: Calling them for food, warning them when danger (other birds) is present, takes them all home at dusk, and has even perfected the mating dance to romance them!
That being said....
He doesn't like to be touched by people. Ever. He is not a 'cuddly' rooster. And he is hard to catch if I need to treat him for anything.
On the plus side, he is a 'follow me around all day' rooster! He is good company.
And if I have to do something with one of his girls, he won't attack me. He will cower in a corner, making sooky crying noises, until I let them go!
That's not too bad in my opinion. I love him to bits!
