Here is my problem, I had an overly agressive Polish Crested rooster that attacked everything and everybody. He was raised with my hens from three days old. Half the hens were older half were same age. I have RIR, Crested, Ameracauna, Wyandotte, Welsummer, Marans, and one sex-link. He was a great rooster, bred everyone, just became too agressive. A friend of mine raises chickens free range and was looking for a rooster. I traded him the rooster for a Silkie rooster and two hens. The Silkie had been kept with multiple roosters and hens. He is approximately 1 year old. We did the slow integration of the Silkies and the rest of the girls, everything went fine. They all get along wonderfully except for one thing. He only breeds the Silkie hens. He isnt too small, he just doesnt seem interested. I have observed some of my hens trying to get his attention, but he ignores them. He will share treats with all the hens, he is a good rooster, but won't mate anyone but the Silkies. Any thoughts on this?
