Choosing a Rooster???

[Dixiedoodle]

I would love your opinions on choosing a roo..

IF you had a dozen hens (3 each) of Rhode Island Red, Barred Rock, Buff Op., and Blue Ameraucana. You have room for ONLY one roo--which breed of roo would you choose and WHY???

Thank you so much Dixie

RIR because then you could breed the RIR pure, make sex links with the BR and BO (maybe not sure about that one) and the other mixings would be fun.

I would choose the Buff Orpington--I have one and he is the sweetest rooster I have ever seen. I have heard of some other breeds becoming aggressive, but orpingtons are generally calm, plus they are gorgeous Roo's!!!!!!!!

I am slightly bias though-LOL!!

I already made the choice.

I have a Blue Ameraucana.... and I hope he breeds well and crows softly.

I say ameraucana too. Nice looking roosters!
