Which roo would you keep?

[MeatKing]

Hi, I realize that each roo is different. I ordered 15 chicks sexed. So far two are roo's for sure. A barred Rock and a buff orphington.
The other female's are barred rock, white rocks, partridge rock, austrolorp's and 1 buff orphington. What do you think would be best personality plus what are the best mixes..

Thank-you all in advance

I really can't speak to the personality of the roos per se (my roos are Welsummers), but my BR hens are my favorites for personality.

I would let them grow and pic the handsomest rooster. Both breeds are awesome! I love a barred rock, but I love the soft feathers and the fluffiness of the orphingtons.

i'd go with the orphington- my first roo was a BR and a mean guy, all my orphingtons are sweet and not aggressive- course it depends on their personality too, and once they start paying attention to the ladies

All of my BR roos have been mean ol fellers...I would try the BO if I had the chance

 

[gryeyes]

Oh, go for the BO roo!

 

[imthedude]

let me tell you that you we have a BR roo for sure and what i think is maybe a BO roo (hasn't begun to crow yet). the BR guy is mean as fire, runs from you like crazy, and generally goes ape when you get close to him. if you reach into the coop to get one of the ladies, he'll peck the fire out of you if you get close to him. the BO that i think is a roo will sit in my lap and eat cottage cheese, yogurt, bread, etc. if we keep one of them, i know which one it will be, and i think you can tell from my description here.

You'll want to keep the BO.

 

[bobbi-j]

I'd keep the BO. My BR was mean.

this is not making me feel so great about my keeping my br roo, i can tell you...maybe he'll be the exception
