I wanted to know which heavy breed rooster is the most colorful. I have my hens picked out but dont know which rooster to chose for them. I might want to have little ones later. The female chicks that i have chosen are 2 buff orpingtons, 2 black austalorps, 2 columbian wyandots, 2 buff brahmas and 2 EE.
I seen a picture of a partridge pekin chchin, but i think he might to small.. i just love all of his color. Please help.
Thank you

Also, if i get the 2 buff brahma in the bantam instead of the standard, should i get a buff bantam male, or will the heavy rooster kill him?
 
Oooh yes they are really pretty

I think it depends on what you like really.

Some people like spangles, in that case I might recommend Speckled Sussex.

If you like stripes then maybe a Barred Rock.

If the pastel colors are more to your liking then maybe Buff Orpingtons.

How about iridescent plumage...then maybe a black breed such as a Sumatra is to your liking.

Some people like the rich red of a Rhode Island Red.

Then of course there are the laced breeds like blue Laced Red Wyandottes.

Lots of fantastic colors to choose from!

The most beautiful rooster I have ever seen was a buff brahma. I had one, but gave him away as a baby.

I love my Partridge Rock Roos but Blue laced reds and Blue partridge are some deeply gorgeous birds. I'm going to shoot for some blue partridge birds here eventually.

Welcome to the insanity...
