Which rooster should stay?

Personally, I would keep both for several weeks. Let them mature a bit, before you make your mind up. Their personalities may change completely. One or both may be aggressive to you or the hens/pullets. They both might be sweethearts.
I'm betting the easter egger is trying to mate with the easter egger pullet. They're not really too suave at that age.
That I can agree with. I do plan to wait just a bit before I decide. Thanks!
 
Some do. The youngest I've seen trying to mate, was at 7 weeks. He crowed before 10 weeks. He was good with the girls, once he settled down.
I have one right now! This boy is just overwhelmed by his hormones and it’s almost amusing 😆 I saw him trying to mount my silkies at 8 weeks old and he tried crowing shortly after! He’s a little weirdo that runs around making strange noises almost all day and clearly needs direction from the ladies to get him in line, but yeah I was pretty shocked haha. He has done his sexy dance for me already too! My Ameraucanas didn’t do that till they were almost 6 months old! But look at that red comb at 10 weeks!

I would definitely wait until they are fully into their teenage boy stage as that will give you a better idea which one will mesh with your flock the best! You may not find either one to behave well, but hopefully one works out! 😍 I tend to have a soft spot for the boys, so I have too many at the moment 🤪
