Hello! New to the blrw, I acquired 10 blrw chicks from a local breeder and 2 blue lace, gold lace cross chicks roughly the same age. They are between 10 and 12 weeks old now, and I'm pretty sure I can discern genders. Both the crosses are male. Then I have a splash male and an incredibly light laced male. Some of my birds that are blue laced are so light in the lacing, it looks almost buff or honey colored. A few of the birds look "buttery" they are beautiful, but it's very light lacing. I will try to get some pictures soon, but obviously I don't need 4 Roosters. What color rooster is the most advantageous to keep? If the lacing on the birds is light. Is that a bad thing? Should I try to reintroduce some dark lacing? Or is the lighter nearly white lacing on the red birds ok or desirable. I certainly think it's pretty, but I want to keep the best stock possible, like everyone I'm sure. So I plan to keep all the females and one rooster. Possibly 2 roos if I were to break them up into trios or quads but right now everyone shares a coop and a large free range fenced area. Please lend me some insight as to which rooster to keep.
the light one is huge and beautiful, the splash is a little flighty but pretty, the two that are cross have very dark almost black, if not entirely black lacing, but one has a single comb. I have no intentions of keeping the single comb roo, the other cross has the appropriate comb. Sorry again no pictures it has rained for days and the gloomy atmosphere doesn't lend itself well to photography.
