I have a small flock of Dominques with 2 roosters (approx. 15weeks old) available. I’d like to breed these sweeties as a hobby. Ideally I like to keep the breed standard true as well as breed for temperament. Which of the two roosters should I focus on and keep?

Unfortunately, I do not have tons of space for multiple breeding flocks. I’m planning on rehoming one with a friend.

Below are photos of our two roosters also I noticed that one has fuzzy toes! Is that normal for the breed? None of our others have fuzzies. Haha

I don’t see the fuzzy toes?
Any feathers growing from their feet would be an immediate disqualification.
Oops forgot that pic. That Roo was #2 which was the one we were planning on rehoming with a friend

Thanks for everyone’s input. I love the breed. But I’m sure they are not sop quality. But maybe with time we will get there! The rooster that was these guys sire was gorgeous!
