Just wanted to share my experience but Im only a 1 year chicken experience.
I have 1 two year old rooster. He is the boss.
I have 5 hens. Ages 6 months - 2 years.
I introduced 1, six month old rooster, he is the same color as my boss rooster. I dont know if it matters. But they get along very well. They eat together. Sleep together too. The boss lets the younger rooster mate with the women too. Same women he mates with. And its like right infront of him! They never fight. No pecking at each other.
I also introduced another rooster, he is a dark rooster and is unable to get anywhere near the flock because the other 2 roosters teamup to chase him away. He deoesnt mate with anyone and stands at the side of the house by himself. All the birds are silkies.
