Best rooster breed poll

[Ben337]

I understand it varies, but what I am looking for is consistency and patterns established more often than not. My basis is on docility, human-friendly, and taking care of hens. I appreciate all experiences to be shared, and opinions as well. I will poll and rate accordingly . Thank you!

Thanks for reminding me standard and bantam breeds thanks

For standards my favorite or what I've found to be most docile are: Brahmas, Orpingtons, and Cochins.

My bantam favorites are: Silkies, bantam cochins, and D'uccles.

My only rooster experience was with my araucana rooster. He was great with the girls, only mounting with permission, never saw humans as a threat, or my dog. He was perfect!

So far cochins and orpington a both bantam and standard lead the charge. Keep it coming! This is greatly helpful!
