I have decided I want a rooster, please help me decide which one. Here is a quality I want, if possible. Friendly, I don't want to be chased by my rooster, I would like to be able to pet him and pick him up if need be. Some background info on my girls, I have 2 guinea hens, 7 Barred Rocks and 3 Rhode Island Reds, all of them are free range with a 10x10 chicken coop to sleep in at night. I read somewhere to keep how big a rooster will get in mind for the hens that a person has. Not sure on that though. So with that being said, which rooster, Barred Rock or Rhode Island Red? Thank you!
