Orpingtons or Brahmas. If you’re looking for a lot of eggs, get golden comets or other red sex-links.

I can imagine anyone or anything would run away from you regardless of the breed or thing.I had three of them. It wasn't an individual chicken thing. All my chicken lover friend's wyandottes are the same. I'm guessing you just got lucky, your chicken sounds nice

Maybe my chickens just like me. All of them come running anytime they see me. Except for a few cockerels.I had three of them. It wasn't an individual chicken thing. All my chicken lover friend's wyandottes are the same. I'm guessing you just got lucky, your chicken sounds nice
Is it advisable? For most people, no. Especially beginners, which I don’t think you are. I have had 9 cockerels, and I’ve had to butcher all but 3 of them, since they were aggressive. I just butchered my last two mean ones earlier. One of the three is a silkie cockerel, and silkies are known for being very sweet chickens. If you are going to keep a cockerel, it’s more of (in my experience) let it live for a few months, and determine if it’s aggressive or not. Unless you want it for breeding, I would not recommend getting/keeping one.I've never kept a cockerel. Is it advisable?
I guess I'll end up hatching a few
It is generally only advisable if you want to have a steady supply of fertile eggs, and if the area in which you live allows roosters. Cockerels/roosters crow, and each one needs a good number of hens.I've never kept a cockerel. Is it advisable?

Just remember how sweet they are:Oooh u like them. I'll have a look
Ok. So would 1 rooster to 20 hens be ok. Would that mean a high or low fertility rate?It is generally only advisable if you want to have a steady supply of fertile eggs, and if the area in which you live allows roosters. Cockerels/roosters crow, and each one needs a good number of hens.
Generally it’s 1 rooster for every 8-12 hens. It depends on the rooster. You might want to have 2 boys to have a higher fertility rate, as long as they don’t start over mating the hens.Ok. So would 1 rooster to 20 hens be ok. Would that mean a high or low fertility rate?
