Hi, I have a large flock of all different breeds and I have 4 adult roosters right now. 3 of them I hatched in 2020 so they are the same age and one I hatched last year. I'm trying to figure out which one is dominant. The 3 I hatched last year are a grey one, a black one, and a red one. The one I hatched last year is a Ameraucna cross. Anyway from biggest to smallest I think it go's
Grey, Ameraucana cross, Red, and Black. But I'm pretty sure that from most to least dominate it go's.
Grey, either Black or Ameraucana cross, and last Red.
Anyway I'm wondering will all the roosters mate with all the hens or do they all have their own hens or do only the dominant roosters mate with the hens. I'm asking out of curiosity and also because I wondering if I want some of the chicks that hatch to be from the non-dominant rooster will I have to separate him and give him his own hens will the hens even let him mate with them?
Thank you
