Which breed had a non aggressive rooster?

[JosieMaeChickens]

We currently have golden comet laying hens and almost laying ameraucana hens. We were given an ameraucana, silky, and two laced wyandottes roosters from someone that bought chicks and ended up with the roosters but only wanted hens. No issues have occurred yet but we only got them last night. Any opinions on the breeds temperament? We don’t need a super friendly cuddly rooster just one that doesn’t tend to attack people. We currently have an unknown breed “barnyard mix” rooster, coloring similar to a golden comet rooster or at least comet mix. He is unpredictable and will attack our feet.

Welcome!
Rooster behavior is individual, so there's no way to promise success depending on breed.
How old are your birds, and how old are these males? Chickens are pullets or cockerels until they are one year of age, and then you have hens or cock birds (roosters).
Cockerel behavior can change greatly when puberty hits, and many of us aren't interested in keeping any who show human aggression. Genetics matters a lot, and then management can make a difference too.
Let's see these birds!

The ameraucana most likely is an easter egger not a true am. My true am will not get alone with other males at all and he was aggressive towards me as well i have a blue laced red rooster whos never attacked me. And ive personally never had an aggressive silkie rooster. Not sure why you would need that many males how many he s do you have?

The golden comet hens are approximately 2-3 years old. The Ameracuanas are about 4 months old. The current unknown breed rooster was found on our road so we don’t know an age on him. The new roosters were given to us and they should be 6 month but no older than a year. I figured it did depend on the individual bird but didn’t know if there was any trends of one breed being more aggressive than others. Here are some pictures. The picture with the hen is our current aggressive rooster.

Not sure if its an Ameraucana or Easter Egger, I’m just going off what I was told by previous owner. We do not plan on keeping all these roosters. We were looking to replace our current aggressive rooster anyway when these four roosters were offered to us. I was just wondering if anyone knew if one breed tending to be more aggressive than the other. Like I said don’t need a cuddly rooster just one that woke attack my 3 year old. I added pictures to another response.

They are all handsome!
Think about your goals for your flock: will you want to raise chicks from these birds? Will you want bigger or smaller offspring? Better or poorer egglayers?
Climate matters too: in very cold or very hot weather, Silkies don't have good feathers for insulation.
Your hens will help manage these boys, especially if they are a bit younger. All have hit sexual maturity, and there's no way you can keep most of them, even with your current rooster gone. And I'd eliminate your current bird first, then any of these that you just don't like, for whatever the reason. Then, watch them! You have some experience with a less than perfect rooster already, so see what you like, and don't like, about the remaining cockerels. Their behavior will change with each elimination too.
We go through this every year, and try to pick a 'best boy' or two. Sometimes we pick right, and sometimes not so much.

The rooster you have now looks like an easter egger so i would avoid the easter egger. Also roosters at first wont be a problem until they are established so any one could start off ok then months later become aggressive. is there a reason you want a rooster?

As people have said, it's a pretty individual thing, but I've never had an aggressive easter egger rooster. I had a very nice naked neck rooster that was super friendly but he kept injuring hens. I have Russian Orloff roosters right now. They are super friendly so far, but they are very young yet.

Very true, I know they could always become a problem later on. But yes, would like to hatch own chicks. We have done is once with the current rooster.
