what breed of roo?

My speckled sussex and ee hens are the best in the coop IMO.

 

Where are you located? It appears that I have about a dozen young roos in need of good homes. Two of which appear to be a cross between a Delaware hen and an Araucana roo (this is just a guess, but one of them has no tail and the breeder doesn't keep any Manx Rumpless...). Most of my boys are Delawares, plus 3 BRs.

 

The only ones I've had on that list are the EE's. I'm having good luck with the guy I have now, but I had 3 meanies before.

I had an Australorp cross that was a really great rooster. He died defending his girls. He was really friendly, too. I do love my Australorp girls.

Of course I love my little Phoenix/Silkie cross, but he is small and
couldn't take on anything bigger then a chipmunk. He's super sweet, though and a real cuddle bug and very good at acting like a big rooster.

 

One consideration is not to keep a rooster who is way too large for your hens. For instance, I would not keep my Blue Orpington, Suede, as my main flock rooster with my various breeds because he is simply large enough to hurt most of my hens, even though they are all standard sizes. The Brahma may be too large for an Easter Egger hen, for example.

 

I have Brahma Roo who is very sweet

 

I have some surplus roos that I would be willing to part with too if you were near here, and they are some of the breeds you listed.

 

I know that it's not on your list, but salmon faverolle roosters are very calm. I don't have any complaints about mine.

 

My Barred Rock cockrels are the only ones I generally let in the pen with my hens.

Now, others do fly in, and the Sussex seem to be gentlemen as well... but I've always had good luck with the Barred Rocks.
