No, I totally agree, especially from a generational/breeding standpoint, you don't want to breed aggressiveness towards humans. Mean rooster dumplings sound great! LOL We didn't even keep our perfectly friendly roo. we re-homed him simply because we wanted 6 layers, and no chances for fertilized eggs. He was a cool roo too.
My kids are fighting over which one gets to do the first chop when our layers are no longer economically producing.. and they JUST started laying... LOL
I've always prepared myself for the roos. I can even name them and still eat them. I've butchered many kinds or animal, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat one of the hens. Every bit of my hard-scrabble ancestry says "eat them." I know I can't though.
