What chicken breed do I have here?

Will he be good rooster to keep with my hens? I have Orpington, astrolope, RIR, welsummer etc.
It depends on what you want in a rooster. If you want one that will warn the ladies of predators he would be a good choice because games usually have good instincts. He probably wouldn't be the best choice if you plan on raising your own chicks because games are not the best layers and his daughters wouldn't lay as well as, say, Rhode Island Reds or other utility breeds.

That also depends on what you're looking for. What kind of hens do you keep? What do you keep them for? Eggs, meat, pets? If eggs, what color do you prefer? And do you like large, medium or small chickens?

It sounds like you like mostly heavier, good brown egg laying breeds so go with a rooster like that. Orpington, Austalorp, Welsummer, Wyandotte, Rock or RIR would all work fine. The game rooster is very pretty, though. If you can't keep him too it would be good to find him a nice home.
