Are roade island red roosters aggressive?

[CHICKENX2005]

Just asking for opinions are roade island red roosters aggressive often? Every one I've ever known ( either mine or someone else's ) has been evil. Including the roosters I've had that were mixed with roade island reds. I know that there must be a few nice roade island red roosters in this world but I'm just asking if in general are they aggressive?

Not all 'Rhode' Island red roosters are human aggressive. @LTAY1946 has a flock full.

I've raised many of them over the years. Only had 1 friendly rooster/cockerel out that breed.

Everyone I have had, I have had to carry protection in the yard. Handled them when young but still mean as heck.

A while ago I was given a few roade island red hens the hens were more or less nice but I eventually ended up hatching some roade island red Xs and they were EVIL. I had to get rid of them. Someone I know had gotten some and the roosters tried to kill each other I'm sure that she said that they attacked her too. The hens that she got weren't evil but they did pull each other's feathers out all the time the other types of hens she had didn't do that. I'm not getting any more roade island reds anymore. It's just not worth it when there are nice chickens that have the same or better production. Thanks for all the answers too my question.

Are roade island whiteS the same way? Are they aggressive?

Rhode Island roosters would have the same temperament, color wouldn’t matter.

First things first, the line matters. TSC Rhode Islands don't really represent the breed
