What breeds have protective roosters?

[centrarchid]

Do you think it's possible for a rooster to be protective but friendly? Or at least not aggressive to me?

Agressive against what? You have big dog.

Like still protective or at least alert/aware of predators but not aggressive to me and/or family or pets. Well, I don't know, should he be protective against the dog? Maybe not afraid to stand up to him if he tries to chase or do something but not like flogging him all the time? I might keep them separate though like they are now

Some breeds have more known protective roosters.Rhode Island reds for example.But it really depends on the personallity,and attitude,possibly even where it stands in the pecking order.

Lots of roosters are great at spotting and warning,but do just as much running and screaming as the hens.Some will turn around and try distracting and or even attacking the attacker.

Many,from what I have read it says that depending on how they raised could have something to do with,well likely not.Its in genetics most of the time.

Also you were asking about which are better caring.Any roo can be good.Young roosters usually have to learn how to treat the hens with respect.Many xome with the tidbitting,and warning already understanding those main things,but the urge to mate causes kaos.
What you have mentioned about the bigger birds being scared and weaker,it is also another known thing for those very large birds,brahama or cochins,breeds of that sort.

Flighteir birds,make for the weaker ones,lots of times.

Birds bred for fighting make good protectors,but tend to be human aggressive.

Q

Birds bred for fighting make good protectors,but tend to be human aggressive.

The problems with birds bred for fighting is that you can have only one rooster per flock as the roosters won't get along but they are usually less aggressive to people. Why? When people bred birds for fighting they quickly culled the ones they couldn't handle which were the human aggressive ones. So the roosters that were desirable for breeding were the ones that won in the ring which meant they had aggression for other roosters (Which can carry over to predators today) but could be handled by their handlers.
Some people who have no intention of breeding will keep a gamecock in with their flock of hens for protection.

That makes sense, it's the same for the fighting dogs actually. They were supposed to be aggressive to dogs but never ever to humans cause otherwise how would people get in the ring, break them up, etc.? But unfortunately now everyone and their grandma breeds them and they call anything with even a slightly blocky head a "pit bull" and most are mutts etc. So A. The breed gets a bad rap and B. Some actually are human aggressive now cause idiots don't care or they think it's "cool" to have a vicious guard dog. :/ sad. But sorry, off topic hahaha

Anyway, where does one find a fighting rooster? They're illegal now so I imagine it's harder?

And btw I don't agree with dog or rooster fighting but the history is interesting at least ha

Oh and if you only have or want one rooster that's not a problem, right? And they don't attack hens?

Let me help put to rest the hog wash that game fowl are man aggressive.

Many of the game fowl bred in the US are sold to places like the Philippines where they are campaigned in pointed, 6 inch, razor sharp, double edged heels, affixed to the left prop toe.

You can suite yourself, but there are few men (In my humble opinion) who look forward to being confined inside a pen with not one but two man aggressive roosters with their Irish up, both birds armed as I mentioned above.

As long as they are kept or "WALKED" separately, you can have as many roosters as your heart desires.

I think you might have misread, they said that they were not man aggressive.

But wow that's a pretty tame bird!

That makes sense, thanks.

I would just want one anyway if I get a rooster but it's nice to know I could have more
