This Spring we got started on our IB flock. We are going to transition over to all IB's in the next couple of years. We hatched out 23 hatch out of 26 which I thought was phenomenal. Our thanks to Connie Hurley for the eggs and advice. There was 12 roosters and 11 hens. Of course we are keeping all the hens but we are down to 3 roosters. We have been watching/evaluating roosters for our flocks for years and I select for "temperament" first, conformation second. Anyway, I am very happy with the attitude of all 3 but more happy with 1 then 2 then 3. In the end we will likely keep just two as I watch more and, now, confirm their spot in the lineup. I won't get into all the reasons I like the "white" one best, then the "black" and then the "brown" one but I would like some opinions on how they look. Thanks in advance for any advice or comments. I will attach pictures in the following posts.

The "brown" rooster

I personally like the "white" rooster best. I love his type and build, and the whiteness of his hackles. His eyes are dark which is desired. His wings could be tighter, however. The brown rooster looks to have autosomal red on his wings, and I've found that to be very difficult to breed out of my flock once introduced. His tail angle looks to be a little higher than what I look for. The "black" rooster looks scrappy in my opinion, but his wings are tight.

I'm not an expert by any means, but it looks like you have a couple nice roosters!

Thanks! I like your choices . The white one is my favorite and he is the dominant rooster. The brown one has gone to freezer camp so we just have white and black now. White also has the better comb. It is well formed and smaller. I have found when they are too big they can be affected by frostbite. Anyway, for now, I am going to get as many chicks out of the hens and these two guys as I can this spring and summer and focus on building the flock up this year. Thanks again for your comments.
