Would an all rooster flock be less aggressive?

[Miss Cluckie Belle]

My 7 year old daughter really wants “a long/tailed rooster” (Phoenix). Do you think a small all-rooster flock would tend to be less aggressive towards people since they have no hens to protect?

I doubt that would be the case. They might be even more aggressive.

Not really.
Aggressiveness is often taught by coddling, petting and holding them when young. They get too comfortable with you and don't respect you later.
Long tailed breeds are often flighty and skittish, and are prone to Aggressiveness, hens or not. they aren't pets.

That makes sense. We’ll stick with Orpington and silkie hens..

I understand her appeal, I want one too. But now isn't a good time.
