I say focus on your Wyandottes and/or Legbars, you ain't gonna make much by selling backyard mixes. Also feather sexing only when you breed a quick to feather male to a slow to feather female

so breed my wyandottes and or legbars to what roo?

RIR or buff blacktail japenese banhtam?

Most of the birds I sell are mixed bantams, sometimes large fowl, they sell ok were I live. The hens always sell better. I’d say if u want large fowl go with the RIR , if you won’t bantams go with the jap. Or if u want to get into purebred breeding and want to sell eating eggs or a large amount of chicks I’d go with RIR. In my own opinion I’d go with breeding pure Japanese but when breeding japs there is the creeper gene. Or if your fine with mixed birds get the RIR bc the jap will be to short and won’t be able to breed standard girls.
