Every rooster is individual as far as personality so don't rule out a breed just because myself and others have had difficult roos.

woodleighcreek - My EE roo makes an attempt to charge me or flog me. He's young and doesn't have much in the way of spurs yet but I make sure to let him know that I'm head of the flock. If he gets more aggressive he'll go to the freezer.

Oh, I had a Sumatra do that to me once while I was in a friend's run. It is not very fun and I can see why he might need to go to the freezer if he gets any more aggressive.

I've had 10 or 15 EE roos....every.stinkin'.one was evil. Gorgeous, but evil.

Probably 50 RIR roos. Again....every single one was mean.
Some have been meaner than others....some will come after you every time they see you....others just need to be 'corrected' a time or two and figure it out.

I have seen nice EE roos and nice RIR roos. Just never been fortunate enough to own one myself.
