Not sure if this is the right section for this topic, if it is not maybe someone will move it for me.
I have possibly 3 roos, light sussex, splash marans and a silkie, i am thinking in the spring to hatch some chicks and wonder which would be the best to keep for breeding.
I am mainly looking for good egg layers, my girls are; rir, blue marans and ixworth which is a large dual purpose english breed.
So which roo should i keep and what hen's eggs would be best to hatch from to give me good layers?
I only want to keep the best roo for the job as i currently do not have enough hens to go round for 3, also i don't want to upset my neighbours by having 3 noisy roos.
