What rooster should I keep?

Your barred hens mated to a non-barred cockerel will result in black sex links, yes. The males will have a white dot on their head at hatch, and will mature into single-barred birds. The females will lack the barring gene and will hatch black, maturing into black pullets. This is because males have two 'slots' for the gene, whilst females have only one, therefore a male pure for barring is BB, a female is B-. This is why pure barred males are lighter than barred females, as the double-dose is stronger.

Generally it is easier to see the little dot on a black base, though autosexing breeds like the Legbar use a partridge base, like that of a welsummer, and still show the dot. As the Barred Rock and Dominique are both black barred (without the barring gene, they would be solid black), and black is dominant over most other colours, you should be ok using a SLW, too, though I would go with the Welly for those pretty dark brown eggs.

ETA: With the barred Turken cockerel, sex-linkage is not possible. If he is single-barred (hen-barred, dark-barred, aka impure for barring), half the pullets will be black and half will be barred. Likewise, half the cockerels will be single-barred and half will be double-barred (pure for barring). Therefore, though you can guarantee that the chicks lacking the dot are female, there will be others that do have the dot, and are barred. If he is pure for barring, all chicks will be barred; males double barred, females, single barred. This is because cockerels get two copies of the barring gene (one from each parent), and pullets get one copy, from their father.
This genetic stuff is so very interesting; however, I need to find a book called, Chicken Genetics for Dummies.
 
First time mention,hens are all black as chicks and males are black with a white spot on the tops of the heads.
 
So I am having the same dilemma. I have 4 roosters that are 3 months old. Been thinking hard of what one to keep. Then decided like others have suggested to wait until puberty starts kicking in. Here are the four contestants...

Wazoo.. Smallest of the roos and on the bottom rung. Skittish and keeps to himself. Nice dark red gray contrast.

Ziggy.. Fairly inquisitive, likes to know whats going on but keeps his distance. Has pecked me a couple times while holding him. He has some green saddle feathers popping up.

Jet has beautiful blue,green and purple feathers as well as some light tan saddle feathers coming in so he will be a stunning boy. As a chick was the most inquisitive, now he stays away from me in the coop. Hard as heck to catch.

Last but not least is Ewok. (looked just like an Ewok as a baby and was the last to hatch.) He is the largest and deff the dominate of the boys. He also seems to be maturing faster. I'm unsure about him. He is inquisitive but has charged at me twice. No hackles up but just stopped and looked hard at me. Loving the green feathers on that red background.

I like how you put pictures and separate descriptions of each. I should have done that. I’m a visual learner and a picture is “worth a thousand words!” I just wish my New Hampshire Red cockerel was not the one who was so dang aggravating because the more I read about breeding the more I learn HE could be so instrumental in achieving so many great crosses: production reds, sex links and maybe more, who knows. And already have the pullets to help him achieve that. The only other thing about him is he has a minor cross beak. I did not notice it until a couple of weeks ago. I am guessing this is hereditary and I definitely don’t need to propagate that defect.
Are any of your roos pure breeds? I’m too new to chickens to know for sure. Jet looks like a no tailed Ameraucana, but I didn’t see any ear tufts.
 
I allowed myself ONE rooster! How do I choose! They are still young should I see who treats the hens better? Or who is nicer? Or should I just basebit off looks and if they are both very nice and treat the hens great HOW WOULD I DECIDE! How do YOU choose who’s a keeper?
Attitude is paramount! A mean cockerel will only become a mean aggressive rooster.

Not pure purebreds. The father of all the chicks was an araucana, that's why some have no tail, moms varied. There is the araucana, ameraucana, and easter eggers. It can get kinda confusing. I have had chickens for years and I am still learning. In fact I found out that if you breed a eared tuff and tailless araucana to another you end up with chicks that die in the egg. I guess having both genes is lethal even though its the breed standard. Crazy :p I am hoping that Jet works out. Looking to make some olive eggers in the spring. Going to get some Cuckoo Marans or Welsummer in August.

This is Loki, so glad she turned out to be a pullet. Same father as the roos but she hatched out of the only Cuckoo Maran egg. Cant wait to see what her eggs look like. Plus she has an outstanding friendly personality.

Haha, my bad. I meant to type Araucana but my fingers weren’t connected with my brain.
I really want some Olive Eggers and that is why I got a Welsummer cockerel and an Ameraucana and a Cream Legbar. I just can’t wait.
