So my DD and I are having a hard time deciding on which of our 2 Roos. to keep. We've had hatchery birds in the past know we are trying to get good quality birds if anybody has an opinion on these guys please let us know. Which one to keep and if their up to snuff quality wise. Thank you in advance

What color are you pullets/hens?

It's funny you asked! They are bachelors although I do have Marans and Orpington pullets to keep them busy until I can find them some nice girls. Then they all get separate pens.

It would depend on what color you pullets are. I would use a splash with a black and blue to blue.... unless I need to lighten the blue or darken the blue the things would be different.

Quality wise do they look OK? I think I have a line on a few hens but i have to wait until after they go through them and decide what to keep. They do have both colors and really nice birds. To my untrained eye

I've been trying to figure out what Frida is for awhile now, and I'm thinking that maybe she's a bantam blue wynadotte crossed with something with feathered legs? That's a rose comb, right?
There was a fourth little egg in the nest today, and it may have been her first egg, but it was white, which I wasn't expecting. Any ideas? She's very shy, flies well, is 10 months old today, and is quite lovely, in my opinion.

I think a Wyandotte/ game cross maybe? Or she is a cross of a mix. All the feather legged birds I know of don't really have that kind of type and its definitely not a Wyandotte type.

Not the best picture, but here is the trio I got today:

I think the cockerel is most promising. He has great, even width on him. His head is pretty nice too but he has not gotten used to me yet so it'll be awhile before I can get a good picture. What does everyone think of them?
