Honestly I think it"s luck of the draw.
The most laid back rooster I ever had was a black cochin. But I never had another to know if it was the breed.
Actually I think what made him so laid back is he was in with the worst rooster I ever had, a big black java. The cochin knew his place in the pecking order and never even gave an intruder a second glance.
So if you want a mellow rooster, you may want to consider raising two together and keeping the nicest one once they"ve fully established who"s who.
Although, nice thing about an aggressive rooster is he will protect the hens if they"re free ranging. That black java would kick the butt of anything that went after his ladies. Hawks, foxes, etc. Big and mean, but just doing his job. Never lost any hens when he was around.
But I get it, with kids around, not so good. My kids named that big rooster Loki, and they all used to have to carry around what they called "loki sticks" anytime they were in that part of the yard, to defend themselves. There used to be loki sticks lying everywhere.
