Hello all,
We have one BR and one Delaware roo left. The Delawares it seem as they get older (about a year old now) have been getting meaner and meaner, I have disposed of two in the last month. My kids have to be able to play in the yard without fear of getting attacked by roos.
We need a couple roos to keep us with fertile eggs so we can replenish our flock. About 30 hens right now with only 2 roos.
What's the "friendliest" breed of rooster, if there is such a thing? Our BR roo is very docile, I wouldn't go so far as to say cuddly or friendly but certainly isn't aggressive, whereas the Delawares this summer have been outright mean.
We raise chickens for both eggs and meat (hopefully, if I get the processing part down right)
