    Bantam Rooster not mating

    We have a Old English Game Bantam rooster he is 9 months old, I never see him mating or do a mating dance, he is the only rooster with 6 hens???? He is real laid back, he alerts the hens, feeds them and seems to have taken on the role of head rooster, just never see him mate.
