Your Perfect Rooster?

Culling doesn't always mean killing... it just means getting rid of undesirable stock. I know some show bantam breeders who sell their culls to pet homes.

...but yes, it does USUALLY mean killing, just not always! lol

I definately always want to have a Speckled Sussex and a Buff Orpington rooster. I have one of each now and not only do they get along with one another, but they are also kind to the hens and have never been agressive towards people. I agree with what was previously stated, though, all roosters are individuals. I once had a Buff Orp rooster who would attack anyone except me. I send all mean roosters straight to freezer camp.

Thank you all it seems that a BO is what people seem to like. My neighbor has a RIR and he is absolutely beautiful and my girls have been spending time at the fence visiting with him, now that he is allowed back out of the coop. I think they kept him locked up due to the aggressive dog they had which has been "culled"

. The dog took all the tail feathers last year but they have grown back in beautifully.

I would avoid a Roo with single comb (Leghorn) They are the ones that attack their owners. I would choose an Aseel Rooster over the banties, Leghorns, and other single combed velociraptors. I have been eyeing a flock of Aseel roos, they are so well behaved as opposed to popular belief that Aseel roosters are fighters etc.

Pro: Big, elegant, sturdy
Con: Their crow is like they are chocking, which might be a pro as it is less annoying than the full crow of some breeds!!

If you could pick any breed of rooster to breed into your backyard flock, what would he be and why??

I would choose either a Black Australorp Rooster or a Americana maybe a Cochin. Why= All those breeeds make very sweet roosters!

I'd choose a buff orpington. My friend has them, and the roos of that breed will hop up on my shoulder. Most of the other chickens attack each other now (They had a coyote attack, and it killed half their flock). And me!
