Why do 3 of my 5 roosters only choose to mate with my sexlink hen? I have 17 hens total, but they will not leave her alone?
Why only 1 hen?

There is a whole lot I don't know about your situation or about your flock, but probably because she is more willing than the others.

yes the others seem to hide from the males
5 roosters is alot for 17 hens. 2 would be plenty.
