I only sold my adults because I wanted the 4-H'er down the road to have an interesting trio to show at the county fair

I also knew I had some eggs a cookin' in the bator.

Can you help me decide? I bought 7 Turkens who are now about 7 weeks old. They were supposed to be pullets, but I believe I have 4 roos and 3 pullets. I hadn't planned on keeping roos, but I really like these chicks and want to keep 1 roo! I do have a friend who will take any that I don't want (yes, they will be eaten) so I am trying to decide which one to keep. It is a toss up between two.

The first, is super friendly, calm and is definitely lower on the pecking order. He likes to sit on my lap. However, I am not excited about his color if I decide to hatch eggs from him.

The second one, is not as friendly, a little more aggressive toward the other chicks, but not bad and not at the top, but I LOVE his color, which is a plus if I decide to hatch eggs.

Here he is:

What are your thoughts? Pros & cons? Thanks!
Also, I am assuming that they are both roos because their combs are large (still light though) and their legs are huge! I am right aren't I? The other two roos have much brighter red combs, even though one is much smaller in size.
