can chicks have different dads?

If 2 different roos are with 1 hen, can the resulting chicks have either roo as a dad? Can half the chicks be one roos and the other half the other roos?

Yes, as long as both roo's are servicing the hen.

Cool, thats kinda what I thought. I have a partridge silkie hen that lives with a white roo. But I also have a black frizzled naked neck roo that lives with the other flock. I thought about letting them spend a few night alone together and try for some showgirls.
