"Threesome"??

It's not the size of the dog in the fight it's the size of the fight in the dog.

I know that - but would he still be the dominant roo even though he’s so small?

Well I wasn't saying that he is. Maybe your RIR roo is just trying to let him know that he is dominant. Also a couple of my roosters have crowed like super late! Not all roosters crow early.

He could be. With chickens, they tend to be more aggressive the smaller they are; the big guy could be totally chill while your tiny one is a psychopath.

Sometimes the tiniest ones are the evilest. They're like chihuahuas in that sense.

I had a tiny bantam cockerel one time, along with around nine other standard sized boys. And despite his size, he was ontop and he intended to keep it that way.

Bantampaths.
The hens are just as bad with their broody tendencies.

They were raised together with 2 others and even as bitties the white was always pushing the others around - but he’s actually the calmest chicken I have. He’s the one that will let anyone catch and pick him up and sit on your hand while you feed him treats

Tell me about it. Every other week! (No exaggeration.)

Yup the broodiness is horrible with mine too.

Hrutka was broody for about four weeks before she started to peter off a few days ago.
Now Kolachi is sitting on top of Paska's cage and puffing at me. She screamed at me earlier, too.

Well....I guess “big red” is off to the auction ....just like his 2 other nest mates that I thought were hens
