which roo to keep?

[Beakz]

ive now got 3 roos, but not enough hens. i plan to keep only 1 or 2. one is a barred rock who grew up with the hens, another is a light brahma who also grew up with them. the 3rd is an older red sex link who i got full grown. the younger ones are about 28 weeks and the older one has begun to attack and chase the barred rock but is fine so far with the brahma. ive got a silkie, 2 RIRS, and a easter egger hen. which roos would make best chicks, have best attitude, etc? which do i keep, which one do i cull?

A light Brama will be a HUGE rooster. Way too big for a Silke. They usually have easy going personalities tho. Barred Rock roos are usually pretty easy going but each rooster has his own personality. Sorry to say I have never been around a red sex link but if he is being aggressive to the younger roosters he would probably be the one I would have for Sunday dinner.
With just 4 hens one rooster is all you should keep. My choice would probably be the barred rock although he may still be a little big for a Silkie.

I'd go the barred rock or maybe the brahma!

wait... can you rehome them? Maybe put them on craigslist (screen the person first) and rehome them? If they are being used as meat birds, then go ahead, but if they are pets or something (like mine) then try to rehome them. Just helping.

I say Barred Rock--only because I love them so!
