Sharing the title of "Rooster"?

[Year of the Rooster]

I have a bunch of cockerels that I received from bantam straight run, 3 sebrights and 4 silkies. I'm only keeping one of each with the hens I have, there are 3 sebright hens and 3 silkie hens, and also 1 BA, 1 BR, 1 RIR, and 1 EE hen. Most of the time, i'll let all of then hens out and the two roosters that I am keeping. From what I've seen, the silkie roo I have chosen is more intent on mating with the pullets while the sebright seems more intent on keeping watching and "showing" them food. I've seen the sebright do a rooster dance now and again but he hasn't tried mounting or chasing them. These roos were raised together from day-olds, so is it possible that maybe they are sharing the role of rooster? Or is one just more dominant than the other? Just something I noticed while outside today.

One will always be the Alpha no mater how subtle the difference is.

Even if you don't see it there is a pecking order. The lower males will mate the females if given a chance. Hatch enough eggs and you be surprised what you get. With 2 males freely mixed with your hens you can never be sure any hatching eggs will be pure for a particular breed.

So would this indicate that my silkie is the lower one? It's funny to watch him chase the sebright hens because the fly away before he can even catch them
