Who do I breed to whom?

Not sure if it's grammatically correct, but that is the question.
My three boys are starting to get randy, so it's probably time to break up the brotherhood, before somebody gets damaged beyond repair.
Please note they are all LF Wyandottes.
In the male department I have Blue, Blue Columbian and Columbian. the Columbian is only in case of emergency,
so only considering the BLUE and BLUE Columbian.
The ladies are BLUE, SPLASH, Columbian and one lonely BLUE Columbian.
Since my brain has already overheated several times replaying the SAME scenario and completely unable to think out of the box, happy to hear any unprejudiced opinions.

Hard to tell anything from one pic (mostly because I don't know what I'm talking about) but I like the blue boy. : ) His tail looks fuller and wider at the base, and body depth looks greater too... but that might be because he's closer to the camera.
No idea about how to use the ladies.

What is it you are breeding towards, blue or blue columbian?

I am curious to hear what choices other breeders would make and what they would hope to get, with the birds I have available.

You are right, he has the best type.

Hard to tell from the photo , I like the blue it may be the photo angle the Columbian blue seems leggy to me .

Must have been posting at the same time, you are also right, both the Columbians are a bit leggy, but they tend to grow in the legs, in the picture they are 5 month old, should take another picture, but will have to separate them imminently....
just hopping for a brilliant idea for the first breeding pen.

No your fine OC, the files size is 100kb which is perfectly fine! its the 4mb ones that are the real killer.

So when you breed blue to blue, or blue to columbian, you aren't getting black?
