Which breed has the nicest roosters??

[steffpeck]

I am looking to add a new breed to my flock. I want a friendly rooster. Which breed is your favorite large fowl rooster?

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

Are you wanting a bantam or large fowl?

 

[steffpeck]

Large fowl.

Here are some of my experiences (all I can think of right now):

Buff Orpington- gentlemanly and watchful.
Black/Blue Orpington- gentlemanly and watchful.
Silver Laced Wyandotte- we put him down due to bloody attack on one of my children and me
Ameraucana (Easter Egger)- sneaky and challenging us- several of them (but not the bantams)
Welsummer- seemed like a nice little guy but got rid of him to young to tell
Jersey Giant- ditto above

feathersite.com is a very large site/lots of pics of breeds

Right now I have some large fowl cochins that I am going to let grow out and see how they are. They have the incredible reputation (along with Large Fowl Brahmas) of being extremely docile roosters.

My best roos have been the marans. They are dignified gentlemen and so are the coronation sussex rooster I had. He was King George for sure.
