i have a buff orpington rooster with 3 others. i only am keeping two and i was wondering if i should keep one that has 5 points on its comb but it is like a little twisted in the front or get rid of it and keep 2 others that have about 8 or 9 points on their comb?
 
I believe PepsNick was advising you to choose the roo with the best body type for the breed first. Combs can be improved later on (unless the comb has sidesprigs). Body type is more important and you should choose to keep the roosters that are closest to the breed standard.
 
Can you post some pictures of the different roos you are going back and forth on. That way someone might be able to help you with which one has better body type?
