I just have to rant about my EE cockerel, Nike. He's named that because of his colorful legs and feet and the fact that, when he was a chick, he was the hardest one to catch...he ran like greased lightning and had several tricks up his...ummm..wing...to keep from getting caught. But now that he's almost an adult, he's the sweetest, most laid back, benevolent cockerel/ almost rooster I've ever had! He will wander in front of me and stand there, til I almost fall over him. This morning he jumped on the closed feed bin and wouldn't get off....I stroked him for several minutes and he didn't mind one bit! I don't have any other roosters currently that are that quiet and easy going, although all of ours are gentle and respectful of people. I've had a few mixed breed chickens that were super pets, but I would have to guess at the mix. I think a lot depends on the individual, too.
