Brahma or Red Star roo?

[matthewschickens]

Hello Everyone!

We ordered our chicks from Murray McMurray and asked for the free rare chick.
When we got it we found out it was a Dark Brahma!! They also gave us 8 "free" Red Star roos

. I got rid of all of the Red Stars except for 2. I only need one roo and I don't know which one is better. As of now the Red Star roo(s) is better than the Brahma but I would like to know what the breeds are like when they are older. As of now they are only 5 weeks old.

To keep or not to keep. That is the question

Thanks Guys!

Matthew

First off, I have no experience with the red star roos. I do have a dark brahma roo that I adore. He's two years old now and he's a very good provider and protector of my hens. I don't handle him, never have and IMO, that makes for a better roo. He's a tad bit afraid of me and that's a good thing. Read my BYC page for more info. on that.
Here's Thor (@ a year old and still growing):

Thor is one hansome roo!
