Rooster breeds

[12littlechicks]

Ok so I have 14 pullets I have three breeds buff orpintons, golden comets, and amber links. After a recent snake attack and I having dogs and having a wild car around I want to get a rooster that will protect and keep my hens in order but I want a breed that the roosters are friendly because I don't want anybody getting chased so can y'all help me out and recommend some breeds ?

I meant wild cat

A rooster is not going to offer any protection against dogs, snakes or a wild cat - get a rooster to have a rooster, but don't get a rooster thinking he is going to do anything should the snake, dog, cat or any other predator come calling besides becoming another potential victim.

Buff Orpingtons, Brahmas, Cochin, Silkies, Wyandottes, and Jersey Giants and Sussex.

Buff orps, australorps, dorkings, cochins, slikies (defiantly!) sussex, faverolloes and RIRs. (RIR's aren't super friendly but they are some of the bravest I've ever seen. In other words, they'll protect the flock.)

Would a bantam Cochin or something be good because I kinda want a small rooster that won't get so big

If it's a bantam it probably won't be able to protect the flock as well. How many hens do you have?
Maybe if you have enough hens you could get 2 roosters.
