Like everyone else I have a hard time deciding who to keep. There's a couple that I know I'm not keeping so I didn't take pictures of them.

I like 4, 6, and 7 but just my oppion. Though I have 2 roosters and a hen and the roosters get along better than the hen and a rooster.
 
They are all nice, but I'd say #5 over #4 due to #4 having a longer back and #5 has nicer lacing. I like him. I'm no good at this, Katy-I love them all too much! I also like #6. How many are you keeping?
 
Katy, # 8 has the golden brown eyes as opposed to dark brown, he is a beauty, but his eyes are not as desirable as the darker brown. Suede also has lighter eyes, but his ladies have very dark brown. Eye color isn't the hardest thing to overcome, but they say go for body type first, then eye color is easier to deal with.

Maybe I should just build a giant rooster pen and then I could keep all my extra BLRW and Orp roos!!!! Any volunteers to foot the feed bill for that pen!!??
