This is my first year raising chickens and I'm thinking of keeping a roo with my 15 hens. I have 7 now and am not sure which to keep if my hens decide to set on some eggs. The hens I have are New Hampshire, black australorp, Americauna, Deleware, Brabanter, Barred Rock, and Silver Laced Polish. I have 5 New Hamp roos and 2 Black Australorp roos. I'm guessing the BA would be dominant in any chicks? Not sure, just looking for some input on which would give me some variety in looks depending on which hens eggs were hatched. Not looking to sell chicks, this would just be for my own flock. Thanks!
I only thought of keeping one because I was told they would start fighting. Right now they are about 13 weeks old and seem to get along for the most part ( a few squabbles here and there). I was curious if the NH would be the dominant coloring for all the chicks (I know it depends on which breed's egg I choose, too.) I was thinking that with the BA, they would probably mostly be all black.
