How are Orpington Roosters temperament wise?

Those with Orpington Roosters how are they temperament wise? I was originally considering a Brahma rooster to replace my Faverolle rooster, but now I'm leaning towards Orpington.

My Orpington roosters have been amazing! I had one that would fall asleep on a child's lap.

I got three straight run buff Orpington chicks two years ago at TSC. All were cockerels. Two were unholy terrors to me and the pullets. I culled them at 4 months.

The third was good with the girls, but never got along with me. He was becoming more aggressive, and I'm sorry-not-sorry that he died a few months ago.

I do miss hearing him crow, and I miss seeing him with the hens. But I don't miss him.

we had a lavender orpington rooster who was very even-tempered and polite to both the hens and to us. we had to rehome him unfortunately, but only because he was too big for the girls and was rubbing/breaking their feathers off.

The hens are great but have never had a roo

My roo is so mellow he is a choclate orp. He is great with kids and me at 3 weeks he tried being aggressive but I flicked his chest and now he's a gentleman

All of my large Orpingtons are amazing. My bantam Orpington I'd like to knock a knot on his head.
