I don't know from experience, but have you considered a Barnevelder roo? They are gorgeous and i have heard they are supposed to have good temperment!

Get a Brahma Rooster I have a 23 week old he is our favorite unfortunatly can't keep him in town so....he is going to a GREAT home on 20 acres but the guy I got some new hens from has like 50 chickens and his FAVORITE rooster is his 6 month old Brahma Rooster and he is BEAUTIFUL I love them my son is 2 and just walks up to Goose and scoops him up and he is very social and made sure our new girls didn't bully up his girls which consists of a australorp and his trust side kick silkie hen....very cool guy....He would stand on the nest boxes and wait for us and just chatter away always has to put his two cents in

Here's goose as a yongin kinda homely looking but he is prettier now lol

Me goose and the 2 year old checkin out the web cam...believe me he had ALOT to say about that never laughed so hard

I have an ee for a roo and he's great.

However, I LOVE the way salmon faverolle roosters look. http://www.meyerhatchery.com/get_item_dosfr_salmon-faverolles-males.htm


They're not all that colorful but I love their black beards, lol!

LF Cochin roos or Orpington roos are gorgeous too, IMO. You can't beat all that fluff!

Dunno. It's why I asked. ;-)

He's definitely an EE, though.

That is a rose comb. Buttercup combs make a true cup..Buttercups are beautiful roos but they are very flighty. My favortite roos are Lakenvelders but they are only black and white. The huge bright red comb sure is beautiful against that solid back head though. I also love Partridge Rock or Cochin roos. They have brilliant reds and yellow coloring...just my two cents.
