Best rooster for business

Not mine either

but you get the idea. Hennies come in all colors
And they crow

So I have about 12 different kinds of chickens and want to get a rooster for business, I want all the chickens to look like their mothers, is there any roosters that have some sort of gene that is weak and won’t show in their offsprings?

I have 3 Easter Eggers, buff Brahma, light Brahama, buff Orpington, Mille fuer d uccle, silver Wyandotte, silver Wyandotte Cochin, blue laced red Wyandotte, 2 dark Cornish, and 3 rare Indonesians chickens that we don’t know yet we just bought them

There's no one rooster that will make all his chicks look like their mothers, but a Rhode Island Red (or similar red/brown/gold color with black tail) will come closer than most other common colors.

--Mothers with feathered feet will typically produce babies with feathered feet.
--Mille Fleurs: the dots/mottling will not appear on their babies unless the rooster also has mottling.
--The laced birds have a fair chance of producing laced offspring. Silver hens will produce silver sons, but their daughters will be either silver or gold according to what the rooster is.
--If you use a black-tailed-red rooster, then the dark cornish will probably produce single-laced chicks.
--With a black-tailed red rooster, the babies from the Mille Fleur and the Brahmas are likely to look similar to each other: buff columbian or red columbian in color/pattern, with fuzzy feet.
--buff orpington chicks will probably have some shade of buff, gold, red, brown, and possibly some black or white markings.
--No clue on the Easter Eggers or the Indonesian chickens.

For more dominant rooster colors (which you said you want to avoid):
A solid black rooster would produce black chicks from most or all of those hens, and a black barred rooster would produce black barred chicks. (Some would have a bit of red here and there, but black would be the main color.)

A white rooster could give anything from all white chicks to unpredictable rainbows of chicken colors--"white" can be caused by quite a few different combinations of genes, and they all behave differently.

A silver-laced rooster, or a light brahma, or any other silver-based color rooster will produce sons and daughters that are silver: no gold or red chicks at all, except maybe a little patch here and there.

"Pure (Heritage) Single & Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds, Rose Comb Rhode Island Whites, Single Comb White & Rose Comb Dark Brown Leghorns."

I like your taste in chicken breeds.

I have had many different breeds over the years but these are the ones I decided to concentrate on. I have gotten my original birds from breeders with great track records. I do not cross or mix lines. If I need another bird for any reason I go to the original breeder I got the birds from and usually make arrangements to get the birds at an upcoming show. I love my birds. I made a promise to each of the original breeders that I wouldn't mix lines and I haven't.
This is one of my Single Comb Rhode Island Red females. She was a champion at a show.

This male SC White Leghorn was a Reserve Champion. Sorry for the blurry.

This is the father of my original Rose Comb Dark Brown Leghorns.

True... There are some threads that give the combinations and what you will get.
