Should I get a rooster and if so what breed?

[valleychicks]

I placed an order for our first ever chicks in Nov. 2013 from MPC that will be here around 5/12/14. I ordered 10 total all hens 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Cochin, 2 Golden Buff (Comets) 1 Delaware and 1 Dominique. My husband and I now wish we had ordered at least 1 rooster. Should I order a rooster and if so what breed? I picked docile/friendly hens so I would want something like that in a rooster also. Or does anyone think I should wait to see if I get a roo? HELP please.

You may get a surprise rooster. I'd wait it out. If you don't, there are SO MANY roosters in need of homes. You can find one later on.

We really wanted to start them all out around the same age but we may just wait and see what we have. Thanks for you help.
