I agree to keep one of the sons. I had a sex link rooster (one copy of the barring gene, like your younger boys) as my flock guy for years. I hatched out a lot of chicks from him, and also got a variety of colors, some barred and some solid. Mine was a brown egger, not an Easter egger, but I put him over some Ee hens. Got lots of cool birds.....including my handsome black and blonde rooster above, and these birds......
this was one of my favorite birds. She was the black sex link rooster over a silver laced Wyandotte hen.
