Hesitating to join this convo,I have to ask ... beyond dorkings, are there any poultry breeds where the cocks actually protect their hens and aren't total dicks? I don't even care if they're protective; I can deal. I just want the cock to be a dick to the threat that matters. (Okay, this is an existential question;never mind.)
I'm looking at Jersey Giants and Ohio Buckeyes. Giants for the cocks and Buckeys for the hens. We have some ground predators here, nothing terrible so far; but we do have hawks and turkey vultures. I'm thinking that a Jersey Giant cock would be a match for most threats, and the Buckeye hens would manage in our climate.
