Understanding pecking order?

[Anime2lover]

And, mainly, noticing that the roo that seems to be the most dominant, impressive bird only takes on certain jobs while the 2 others who are about the same as him in stature take other jobs struck me as extremely interesting. Especially how I have never seen the 'big guy' fight. I've seen him peck a small amount of times but the other two are the rowdy ones. The 'cool, yet dominant' demeanor of my main roo (who was my favorite since day one) is definitely something I would try to selectively breed for. He's also the only one from the flock that will let me pick him up without any fuss.

sounds like my roosters. i have several. they all play a part, but the main rooster will but in if the other roost try and mate his hens. otherwise he doesn't really do much other then search for snacks and watch for preds. and breed of course.
