I'd let them mature before making a decision.

I’m not making a decision now I’m just curious what ones you all like and what one you think makes the best line of breeding

Beautiful

Juvenile feathers don't indicate there true patterns and colors. I would wait till there 6 months or older to determine the best quality of the two.

I made that mistake when I started out with my Swedish flower hen flock cause I got rid of one cockerel to soon. Now I'm in massive regret about it.

With regard to your other thread, I would think it most important to choose the more healty one.

Looks are not everything.

Close examination is a good place to start. Really look at their skull, eye placement, and beak alignment. Symmetry is very important here. Look very closely at their feet, their toe placement. There toes need to to be straight, not crooked or bent, the toenails need to be even and not twisted. Feel their breasts - feathers can cover a multitude of sins.

Then weigh them, and measure their heights at regular intervals. READ the SOP's.

Then of course look at the feathers and color and behavior. Good health is highly inherited, and so is poor health.
