Please excuse my lack of knowledge regarding the use of multiple roosters for breeding. I have some barred rock hens that first bred with my Barred Rock rooster, then with my Rhode Island Red Rooster a day or so apart. Here's my question--please don't laugh. Will the second breeding override the first breeding, that is, will I only have black sex links since that was the last breeding, or will I have some Barred Rocks as well? A friend asked me if chickens were like cats--multiple dads, all different looking kittens. I have never thought about this and would like to know if anyone out there has an answer. Sorry for such a silly question.
 
It's not a silly question. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I imagine you would get chicks from both roosters.
