Long winded explanation:
My grandparents are having predator problems so are unfortunately down to two pullets.
Me and my family are planning to help them predator proof and then I want to raise them some chicks so they can have some more chickens.
The main problem is that in the last batch of chicks I raised them (pure ameraucanas) they kept one rooster but he unfortunately turned to be aggressive so they got rid of him. He was very hard for them to manage and I don’t want them to have that problem again.
So, I was thinking that when I get some chicks, I’ll order some pullet chicks cheap from a local hatchery or get some from the pullet bin at my local feed store. But in the event of a rooster, I want to make sure that I have the greatest possible chance of him being freindly.
TLDR:
So, which breed has been the most successful in turning out the friendliest roosters for y’all?
Disclaimer: I understand that all roosters are individuals, but I believe certain breeds are more likely to produce individuals certain temperaments.
