Now I just hope my analysis is correct. Knowing my sister though those roosters better have the sweetest temperament. Can't have anything that's the slightest bit aggressive because A, my sister won't stand it and B, my niece and nephew are often here so their safety around the birds is #1. They've got three shots. But they are supposed to be gentle breeds.
For me the most important thing is if they take good care of the hens and aren't stupid. We had an EE boy named Fowler once. If you caught him he would sit and take a nap in your lap! Totally not scared of people or "aggressive" whatsoever. BUT if he wanted to breed a hen, he was going to breed that hen or die trying - or kill the hen on accident :/ if we had kept him he probably would have killed a hen at some point, stupid bird....
Then we had. RIR named Bear Grylls (yesit is what you think XD). He would attack people, but only because me and sis had fun sparring with him :/ he would attack 5gal buckets too
THAT was funny to watch. But anyway, Bear was like the middle ground - nice to people (at least not super nasty) and typically nice to the hens too. Problem was he was an overzealous breeder too, so we sent him to freezer camp to keep Fowler boy company
And finally we come to Arrow, who was simply perfect. He was the epitamy of a gentleman with the girls, and once he figured out where he stood with people,he decided not to be aggressive. He actually did attack a little kid once, but she was just old enough to see that our chickens are friendly, so she tried to pet him and freaked him out. So we would lock him up when little kids came over,and it was fine. He was the only too we has that would protect his girls. One time he went after a border collie that was chasing Peep, while Bear sat in the bush and cried! Then he totally kicked the neighbor's terrier's butt, and got all bloody doing so, but when he almost charged ASPEN, my giant stupid pyr, I was like "dude you rock" and so he stayed u til the Marek's outbreak, when we sent him to heaven to take care of all my chickens. Banana Smoothie misses him A LOT.
But yeah, there's my two cents on the matter
