I hatched out some chicks this spring and the following are the roosters I got.
they are mixed, but I am hoping you guys can guess what breeds they might be.
Number 2 is a possible dad, 3 looks like a possible dad (the actually roo got killed by a dog, i'm guessing thats his son, looks just like him)

The next three I think are roosters, they are a month younger

#1 possible Silver Phoenix cross
#2 possibly red sexlink rooster
#3 looks like a Welsummer or Welsummer cross-it's not unusual for Welsummers to have a few feather stubs between their toes and on their legs.
#4 Black Sexlink rooster
#5 Wyandotte cross-he's a handsome fella!

Not venturing a guess on the others, but looks like you have a young Welsummer cockerel in that younger bunch, #8

Could he be from a white Wyandotte hen? we have several white chickens, but those are the only ones I can see that could be that breed.

lol, I realized that about the pics after I posted.

Which roosters do you think would be the best to keep?
we were going to keep 1, 4 and 6 (just because we liked them the best)

Do you see any possibility of any of them being part game, we had a game hen hatch out 8 chicks, she dissapeared and we raised her chicks.
 
How many do you have ? The first one is gorgous, The third one is some sort of game roo. If you like the 2cd one I would keep them all. You can not go wrong with game roos. They protect thier hens and they are fairly resistant to alot of diseases.
