Who Shall I Keep

[chipmunkridge]

I have (at this moment)
4 black crossed with ???? cockerels, and 2 pullets (a black and a mottled)
of the cockerels 2 have red mixed in, and 2 with gold. I was going to keep one of each color; but maybe I should keep the golds.
They look like this

By keep or not keep- I mean 2 will be with the girls and 2 will be penned up or given away as pets.

Very pretty boys, I would keep one of each but that's just because I think they are both lovely! Not sure what your breeding plans are, so I guess your choice depends on that.
Good luck!

I don't have any breeding plans as such, and I don't think fluffy cochins do so well at breeding if they don't get some help.
Aesthetically speaking, I think the gold laced ones are far prettier, and if anyone is going to father babies, I think it should be them.
Maybe someone with extensive breeding experience cold tell me what colors of chicks I'd get with a black hen, a mottled hen and either dad with a gold laced neck.
