Witch rooster to breed ?

Such pretty boys. I especially like the first one. Good luck with them!

Thank you that one is my fav one too.

I am going to throw a wildcard and say I’d go for temperament first, then looks (if going for a grown bird). #1 has gorgeous plumage and an exemplary comb.

Thank you , they are both fairly docile. Both are also pretty much identical. Frontal view you can see they look hefty/thic but from the side profile they look slim and tall.

Did the breeder with #1 say where their stock originated? Do either of the breeders do any health testing that can prove they have clean flocks? Personally, I do not buy from breeders unless they have quality show stock and proof they have done the proper health tests for their flock. I don't think it's worth it to risk introducing a permanent disease to my entire healthy flock. Sure you can save a few bucks and don't have to deal with the minimum shipping quota, but just ask around on here... many people regret not choosing either a hatchery or a reputable breeder.

What hatchery do you like?
