My chicks are a 4 weeks old and I have discovered (thanks to BYC) that I have too many roosters. At what age should I decide which one to keep? I only want one. How do I choose? I don't plan on breeding but I want him to be pretty. I just wanted one for fun. If that is the case, should I pick the most docile one, that will come to me? Or should you always pick the best genetics? Three are barred rocks and one is a dominique. Help me decide what to do...
This one comes to me all the time. Very sweet! He is bald in areas but very tall. Bigger than the rest. Odd looking right now and his comb is crooked on the back end.
This one want to be with the other chickens and is upset when seperated from them. In this pic he is headed back inside where the rest of the chickens were. He isn't friendly.
This one avoids me at all costs! Yesterday when I took him outside, he kind of collapsed on the ground and just laid there sprawled out in a weird position. He is probably the prettiest and nicest around the other birds though.
Here is the dominique. I really wanted a barred rock rooster. I don't know why. but maybe I should consider him anyway.
