suggestions for a rooster

[plantguy90]

I have 3 adults, a black sex link, a white brahman, and a buff orpington. Also have a 6week rhode island red, a 4 week buff orpington, and a 3 week barred rock. I am considering getting a roo to make the next generation of dual purpose chickens. Im kinda intrigued by the idea of making mutt chickens. I guess I really only have 4 types of birds and the BSL is already a hybrid, so what would you suggest as a breed for that lucky roo to start my mutt chicken breeding program?

Sussex,if you where closer I would give you a Speckled Sussex roo also....

I dont eat my birds now, but I hope to in the future. I love dark meat, and my hens past the feathers dont seem that meaty. I dont need the fast growth characteristic, I just want plumpy birds that lay good eggs. Leghorn is a great name, I grew up watching ol Foghorn, but the breed index says noisy, that is a DQ.

Is an Australorp that different from an Orp?

Was considering Cornish, but maybe a Delaware is better...?
