Why hens like weaker rooster

[HealthyFlock]

My friend gave me 2 cockerels ( 8-9 mo ) brown and black
Brown one is alpha
But all hens loves roaming with black cockerel
Whenever alpha chases beta cockerel away hens are also going with him

Hen always chooses winning cockerel isnt it ??
Why my hens choosing him instead of alpha
Thanks

Maybe the black one finds better treats for them. Or maybe the brown one is too rough with them.

Well if given my choice between a "stronger" guy who was a jerk or bossy, vs a "weaker" guy who knew how to treat me well, I know who I'd walk off with as well.

They go with who ever feeds them best.
