Are polish roosters aggressive?

Are polish rooster generally more aggressive? How are they with other roosters?

I have had a polish rooster but he was pretty good, but I want to make sure he wasn't one in million.

Thanks in advance,

Polish are usually good. The only concern I would have with them is the top hat. Some of them (not all) need to be trimmed for proper vision so they can protect the flock.

Okay, thanks.

I am not concerned with flock protection as much as I mind how they are towards people.

Okay one more question...... My roo was super gentle with the ladies. Is that normal for the breed?

Yes, it is. Good luck with your new rooster!

I did an internet search on this because mine attacked me yesterday. He was flocking my legs because I went in the coop to collect eggs. I think he has to move on. He is a white crested black.

In any breed there is great variability in behavior. Some will be very aggressive, some very gentle. I have found in judging Polish that they generally tend to be gentle but there have been the exceptions that have made me bleed.

I about went off on him. My husband had to come and save me, I couldn't get out the door because he kept flogging me. I didn't want him to get out and get into it with our free range rooster.
