I hand raise mine from babies, I own them for eggs and companionship, nothing else.
If it has a name, it doesn't get eaten.
My family donates the eggs, since the hens lay TONS.
Personally, I would keep the Ameracauna roo in a heartbeat.
He's much prettier in my opinion, and he will settle as he gets older, I have a EE mix rooster and he has been the best flock protector out of all the males.
If he's not aggressive toward you, that's amazing, "none" of my roosters in...
