Is he sweet..we do want a rooster. Does the cochin roo tend to be nice..the hen is sweet as can be.

That looks like my barred cochin pullet! Except yours is a month older.
This was our partridge cochin cockerel several weeks ago, he already had saddle, hackle, and shining tail feathers. He also had a larger comb than yours and he's only 4 months old.

My australorp rooster is about 6-7 months old now and he is huge


us with our brand champion and best of show ribbons and buckle this is the only pic I have of him right now

Breed doesn't necessarily matter on temperament, even if one breed of chicken is said to be friendly, docile, and loves to be held it truly depends on the owner of the chicken ( like if he/she interacts or plays with their chickens) or sometimes it's just the chicken. I have heard of some Cochin roosters being nice and gentle with the hens and others... not so much.

As a chick, Oliver was active and a friendly one(he was sexed as a female). When he was 4 months old, he was sweet with his small flock of 2 and wasn't mean toward us, but he was a pain to catch. He was the largest chicken but still stayed clear of the much older pullets, who were smaller. We can't have a rooster(we can't have chickens at all but haven't been told again in months) so we rehomed him once he started crowing which he was 4 months old. We sure do miss him.

Handsome fella! I wish we could've kept Oliver, but the guy who bought him promised he would have a good home. Maybe he will be a show bird!

Breed generally doesn't matter as long as you handle them right and are kind to them they tend to be nice

my rooster in the pic is a big baby he is scared of everything but this red one here can be a real pain sometimes he comes after me if he is in a bad mood and I just look down on him and then angelo the black one comes and jumps on him and chases him away
