Are Swedish Flower roosters friendly?

[Crumpet2020]

I am hatching Swedish Flower eggs and I have accepted the fact that I will most likely get a rooster, so I‘m wondering if they are friendly.

I have been around them, and find them sweet.
To be honest, all roosters should be friendly. A mean rooster is soup! I don’t think any breed can be judged as mean.

Mean Roosters can come from any breed. I have a Swedish flower rooster. Was supposed to be a girl but the breeder gave us a boy. Yes he was VERY aggresive when he was growing up but I never gave up on him and now he is tamed enough to let me pick him up and hold him, he loves my attention, he jumps on my arms, and he even cuddles. I'd say if you get a mean one and you really want to keep him Tame him to the best of your ability or give him to someone else but I knew they were just going to kill mine that's why we kept him. Mine turns 1 year old in Febuary-March. If hes nice good for you. But this is my experience and I love him dearly.

You will most likely get quite a few roosters. Mean isn't confined to a breed, it's up to the individual rooster.

It’s all in the personality and environmental triggers. There are docile breeds who have mean roosters and breeds that are know to be “not-so-nice” have wonderful roosters. We had an amazing rooster who was friendly with humans and his ladies; he cared for them amazingly. His son was the complete opposite; he was super rough with the hens thus ended up as dinner.

Environmental factors also take into play, for example, such as if the rooster feels like he needs to protect his ladies from, say, a child who seems to be a threat. He may then consider you a threat, which in return results in him watching you rather then predators.

All in all, just keep a watch on your boys. I wish you luck and hope that they’re all sweet! ❤

Edit: iPhone is mean.

Very pretty! What’s his name?

We thought alot about his name and well his name is Rooster. LOL. when he was younger we didn't have a name for him so we kept calling him that until we found a name and he kind of just stuck with it. He'll respond to Rooster, Roost, or Bruce but he also responds to baby boy as he is my babe. haha
