None of my orpington roosters are aggressive, I actually show one of them and he is great to work with! I think for the most part they are a docile breed.

In my limited experience, I would venture to guess that you can have a "bad apple" in any breed. I have a 6 month old orp roo who is going to freezer camp tomorrow. He is respectfull of me, good with the ladies but corners, pecks and tries to stomp on my 8 week old youngsters. He got one pinned down for the last time today. I have four other roos, the WL and NH ignore the youngsters, the two BCM boys actually try to woo them and gently herd them around, it is darling to watch

I am always incorporating youngsters so the boys must be good with them!!!

i'm not sure if it was this thread or another forum... I remember reading something about orps being feather sexable? is this true, and whats male or female? I definitely see longer and shorter feathers on my chicks of the same age.
Thanks
