Too many good breeds to count. Is it just that you want a docile rooster?
I assume you aren't planning on breeding pure breeds.

Think about what you want and choose from the following charts.

What is your plan? How many hens per rooster? What breeds.

Orpingtons, hands down. BUT. word of caution with roosters- you should spend a *decent* amount of time around your roosters, especially, if you want them to not only know you, but not attack you. My buff O's were very docile and very friendly, but every rooster does and should have an inherent instinct to protect the ladies, its kind of their job, and trust me, you want to them to! Ive seen mine fight off raccoons, etc. Which def saves lives. I would highly recommend picking up your roosters as often as you can while you bussle around and do chores. Picking them up displays dominance and allows them to understand that you are in fact in charge....and...its really fun who doesn't love chicken cuddles???

Good luck!! Roosters can be a blast.

I have two EE roos I raised that don't attack people or hurt the hens if you would like to see one if them.
