Abandoned rooster breeds

[Kornet]

I just lost my rooster to a tiger snake and am now wanting to get another one for my small flock. I wanted to get a bantam rooser and see how my girls take to him. There is a flock of abandoned rooster at the park down the road and I was considering catching on of them and bringing him home. Does anyone know what breeds either of the two bantams on the left are? On a side note.. is taking one the roosters away from their flock even ethically? They seem to always fight with each other but still, it's all they've know. Thoughts on that?

They look like mixes, nice looking roosters. I am sure if they are abandoned, there is nothing wrong with taking them home. Be sure to quarantine from your flock for 4 weeks, as they likely have mites if nothing else. They should be treated for both internal and external parasites regardless. Good luck!

Thankyou! I will be sure to quarantine him as most of those roosters are extremely scaly..

(Personally id go for the white male)

He might be a bit confused at first, but I'm sure he'd love having girls, especially to himself and knowing where he's going to get food

We did that when we brought home a new rooster, just for safety, he is a buff brahma!
I have a bantam rooster with the hens, he is young but he doesn't try anything!

I would go for the larger gold one!

Not sure on any of them, but the white probably has polish in him and the tiny male in the back probably has Japanese

Me too, he is beautiful!

Oh? I'm glad to hear he doesn't hurt them. I was worried whether introducing a bantam rooster to a flock would be okay. The sized difference i mean when mating, having to latch onto the girls wattle because he's small. Does your bantam mate with your girls yet?
