as well as having rose combs which handle winter weather better than single combs.

The Wyandotte hens I've had were peaceful. The 2 roosters...not so much. They were the most aggressive of the roosters I've had. When they started wanting to charge people, they went into the pot. The calmest, best rooster I've had was a Buff Orpington; his son, and now his grandson, are the same, even though they are mixed breed.
