So i have a EE Cockerel and i have a Mixed cockerel i was wondering which one i should keep because i dont have room for 2 roosters and i only need one. If you guys have any advice, do you know whih one is the best breed or which one i should keep?
 
What are your goals for a cockerel? Will you be hatching eggs he has fertilized, is he to be just eye candy, or do you have some other reason to want a rooster? Which cockerel best meets your goals?

If you are going to breed him, what do you want the chicks to be like? If you are breeding for meat you probably want the largest. Do you want a certain appearance? That could be comb type, color and/or pattern of feathers, general conformation, skin color, or anything else that strikes your fancy. The hens you are breeding him to will also contribute to all those.
 
You might try it both ways. Pull one rooster from the flock for a week, see how they interact, if you like the dynamic. If you do, cull the one you pulled, if you don't change the rooster and watch another week.

If neither works cull both.

It really depends on how they treat the hens and wha you want them for what type of roo you want, I agree with the previous posts
