Has anyone ever kept a rooster because it was just too pretty to kill?

Im hatching out chicks and i have 2 RSL roosters and i know when they grow up they will be white with black specks or stripes on them not sure yet this is my first time having them and then i have 2 white chicks with red stripes and they are just sooo pretty i think they are ambers and i have been thinking when the time comes when they are older since i hatched them out from babies and raised them do i really want to sell/give such a beautiful rooster to someone who is going to kill them??I mean i wont be able to keep them cause it will cost alot to feed them and worry about if they will ever try and flog me but at that point looks wont save them anymore

heres my first RSL roo

and the white/red striped one

heres my new ones that hatched out this weekend

the RSL roo is still wet and then the white/red striped is next to him and above him is a gold looking chick

Just to clarify, your rsl roos will be white with red on the wing/shoulder, mostly. Not black.
