I hatched some buff orpingtons. It looks like 2 of them are roosters, but only one is taking on the role of rooster. He crows and services the ladies. They are 9 or 10 months old. The other looks exactly like a rooster, but does not exhibit any rooster behavior. Long streamers around the neck, beautiful tail feathers that curl, bright red comb and waddles, body shape is more upright. Is he just not the "alpha rooster" or is he a she?
Thanks so much for your input.
