I agree with the Wyandotte’s. The worst ones I had were a Dominique and a Rhode Island Red. Mean boys!I know Wyandotte roosters are really sweet, same with buff Orpingtons!
RIRs are definitely mean! I raised one to be a sweet boy, and he turned on me in a few years…I agree with the Wyandotte’s. The worst ones I had were a Dominique and a Rhode Island Red. Mean boys!
The Bielefelder's I mentioned were very bad to my girls. They were a pack of 4 roosters that would hunt and ambush the hens to say the least. I cleaned house and those same hens are about 2yo and when my 6mo wyandotte tries to mount, they fling him off and he's running in circles trying to get away because she has him by the wing lol

Yea I had 3 hens ripped open from top to bottom and had to put one of them down before I seen what was happening. I never thought roosters would hunt in a pack like that. One would grab a hen by the head as she ran by and hold her. 2 more would take a wing and the 4th would jump on from behind. They would hold her down until all 4 had there go. About the 3rd time braking that up I popped the leader with the 22 and put a big dent in there little click. Thought it was funny, every rooster they had picked on came to give him a head bite and a goodbye kick. I kept 1 to hatch a replacement and gave one of the hatch to my aunt who says he's a good boy. The one I kept is ok I guess but I haven't seen anything special personality wise with him.I was about to come into this thread cheering on Bielefelders. All four that I have had in my experience have always been deferential to the hens. I've never seen any forcing. I wonder if they were emboldened by being in the same clique? Including a pic of my brown leghorn trying to entice him, haha.
