No unrelated cockerels. All full brothers.

I like both of those first 2 roosters, the dark one and the colored one with a little leakage. Depending on how serious you were wanting to breed them you can start a 4 pen breeding program startin with the 2 roos and the 4 best hens

I only have two. The first ones I showed you. I did have others, as the other two I showed you but I culled one and gave the other one away. I just thought id show you the others out of curiosity

Id use both guys and use the best hens to balance out the faults, looks like you have a good start, beautiful birds

Okay so my one rooster is a bit older now about 8 months and his tail still has white on it. Does that make him undesirable for breeding?

They are pretty, I have another one with a lighter orange that I think is pretty but my heart belongs to the Orpingtons. My favorite breed.
