which roo?

[33yardbirds]

#3 seems to have the nicer tail feathers and nice heavy comb

Actually, the reason that I am keeping Marans around in general (I have three-four pullets, also) is to eventually breed some meat birds (plus the olive-eggers). I do believe that the cockeral in pic three (which seems to be the overall fav, despite not having a breed-standard comb - which I was unaware of) is the heaviest, and he is actually my preferred keeper. I think I'm going to take out number 1 first and let the other two slide for a while longer before I decide who stays and who goes permanently.
