Need help deciding which Lt Brahma roo to keep

[Mrs MIA]

Thanks everyone... input is much appreciated. I sure wish I could find a new home for them, instead of the ice-box, but such is life, I guess...

Ahhh... OK. That's right. Thank you.

You know, looks-wise, #4 is my choice, too, but #5 is the one with the sweetest disposition... OMG... decisions!!! Once the head falls off, there's nothing you can do...

I wish I had kept two... If your not going to show or sell big time hatching eggs keep the one you like...

I only really have room for 5 birds in the breeder pen... which is why I wanted 4 hens and one roo. Hubby thinks I have WAYYYYY too many roos as it is, and I have to agree when I'm in the coop and hear all 8 of them having crowing wars. I planned on picking out the best 4 hens and best roo for the breeding program and the others would go out in the layer's coop.

I can't tell from the photos... does Oliver have black wingtips? I just keep looking at him... he is just so magnificent! Puts mine to shame! I just love the pure white on the saddles... none of my birds are pure like that. They all have some form of black speckling here and there.

He has black wing tips....they just aren't showing in that photo...his saddle feathers come way down over the black in his wings...

That's what I thought...

Pretty boy ya got there. Thanks for your help!

Well, I think I've made my decision, and it's Dom (#5) that's staying. He is the gentlest thing, and has been fussing over and coddling Emily ever since they were separated. I had to do a little suturing on Emily last night, to help close up the skin on her neck. She was such a trooper. :aww She's doing really well today, so far. The other three... well, they've just been hell on wheels ever since I took her away. Hormones must be just a-raging right now.

Thanks again for everyone's input. You're all such a blessing!
