Yes they are very friendly.
Thank you, he is very pretty and of all the roosters we had so far, this is the one the chooks seem to be most comfortable with.

He looks curiously)
Eyes are black.
I did not know that there is a breed of chicken - Australorp.
That's interesting.

Lara, he is very pretty, could have a bit a larger comb.
Australorp is a breed that was developed in the early 20th century in Australia crossing Orpingtons with other breeds. They are good egg layers and have enough meat on them to make it worthwhile to pluck them for cooking. And they tend to be really friendly, a pleasure to have.

Yes, I worked on a chicken farm as a summer job when I was young, And was shocked by how evil they can be to each other, People think only humans bad to each other!

None of our roosters were evil, but with this one the atmosphere seems to be a lot more relaxed in our chook yard.

I remember they used to pick on one and basically peck them to death.

my mum used to say that when she was a kid her parents had a rooster that attacked humans. She always was afraid of feeding the chooks.
I guess there is a reason why cockerel fights are held (to which I object).

Indeed That barbaric sport just shows how sick humans can be!
I guess rooster attacking humans he is just defending what he see's as his teratory .
We has Geese and they were extremely agressive!
