which rooster to keep. I have a brahma rooster who is non-human aggressive, and is so much fun to watch with the hens. When I bring scraps down to them, he calls the hens over, or if they're with him, feeds them pieces of food. When I am near, he keeps his distance. He's the bird in my avatar. I also have three beautiful black roosters - a minorca, and either australorps, or JGs, or maybe one of each. Anyway, they're all slated for the butcher block unless I decided to keep one of them and butcher the brahma instead. I've had him for two or three years, and am trying to be practical. I may have - despite my best intentions not to - become slightly attached. I really have no use for both the brahma and one of the black ones, so I have to choose... I'm leaning toward the known factor - the brahma.
 
No sentimentality here. The brahma is a non human aggressive GOOD flock rooster - he stays. The others beautiful yet somewhat unknown as to potential. Keep the brahma.

Keep the brahma. Known factor, he's good with the girls, good with you, hitting his prime.........what's not to like? Eat the young uns.

I am going to keep the brahma - stability is far more important than eye candy. Those black ones sure are pretty, though... Two of them are also quite large, so they should dress out nicely.

Good for you. And really, even for us tough girls, it's okay to like......er, respect and appreciate a specific bird, especially a good rooster. Just sayin'
