Hello all, i am in need of a new cockerel but i feel it would be best to have one from a chick as then it will be used to me going in and out of hens, as mine at the moment brought from a market attacks me!! I currently have warrens and x buff Sussex. So looking for some eggs to incubate but not decided on breed, any advice or suggestions, i have a 19 month old son to who likes interacting with the chicken so. I don't want anything nasty.
If you're looking for a very gentle breed, I would definitely go with Cochins, Silkies, Light Sussex, Black Australorps, Polish, even Modern Game Birds.
If you're also looking for a large bird, the Light Sussex and Australorps will be best.
Good luck!
