Just how docile could I expect a black Australorp rooster to be?

New to raising chickens, and wondering just how strongly breed affects temperament. I realize black Australorps and known for their gentleness...Are some black Australorp roosters still aggressive?

Personality is up to the individual bird, breed has little influence or your average backyard breed.

Thank you!

Your best shot at getting a nice rooster is getting one that's around a year old from someone who aggressively culls for human aggression. In general though it's mostly up to chance whether you get a nice rooster or a mean one. Just don't keep a mean one if you wind up with one

Thanks for that advice! I suppose we'll have to wait and see!
