Brahma or Orpington?

[Jdc361]

I am getting 6 hens and wanted to add a roo into the flock just for protection. I need a friendly breed that will be good with kids. I don't want to be attacked when I enter the coop. So now I'm down to brahma or orpingtons... Which is a better roo?

I think orpingtons there crowing is not load.
And there smaller then are Brahma so if it attacks you it wont be to bad.

Well I don't mind size. Actually, heavy breeds are good. Does anybody have a roo that's good with kids and a gentle giant? Any breed.

Sussexs are good to people and they are known for being friendly to other roos.

Plymouth Rocks and Rhode island are the worst to people.
