Hi guys, so l have 2 hens and l had one rooster but it died. So my question is that what breed of rooster should l get for my hens depending on my hens' breed?
So here are the details of my hens:
White Hen = Cochin or Brahma or a cross of the two.
Brown Hen = Cochin or cross of Brahma and Cochin. (Not pure Brahma because they have black feathers on their neck and tail).
As my previous rooster died, currently l have no rooster and want to get a new rooster. My hens have begun laying eggs and they need a rooster in order to hatch chicks and make the egg fertilized. So l need some ideas about what breed to get that so the chicks are a beautiful breed and fancy. My hens are already considered fancy birds because of their feathers on their feet so for that reason l want the chicks to be beautiful as well and that which will survive too.
My previous rooster was a game bird/mutt or a cross but the origins were not confirmed as l bought it from my local shop. I concluded that it may the result of cross between these breeds: Asil, Malay, Modern Game or Shamo. It died just before my white hen began laying eggs idk why but the fact that some roosters die after mating may be the case. So idk if l am wrong or not but l think that the eggs which my hen is producing now is because of my previous rooster and may affect the breed of the hatched chicks, if it won't then its alright and l won't have to worry about my previous rooster.
Please inform about which breed to get for my hens in order to hatch chicks. I have also attached a few pictures of my hens so you can have a better idea. Thanks a lot.
