Yes they can breed, but they will be inbred. This may not affect the birds at all, But the more interbreeding between family members, the more suseptible to disease and deformity they become. The best thing to do is swap the roosters with other people with the same problem. you will end up with healther happier chicks. Hope this helps. Regards Chook Butcher.
1 of your hens had 2 chicks you had a rooster the father but it died it turns out 1 of the chicks is a rooster now will he breed with the rest of the flock?
Yes. Chickens don't have our morals or laws. But inbreeding too many generations can lead to an infertile flock. This will happen if say the 2 chicks breed together and their chicks breed together, and the chicks chicks chicks breed and so on. Father and daughter or mother and son is called setting the blood lines. If you ever get any new hens or roosters and introduce them in to your flock it will`replenish` the gene pool. You don't want the family tree to run a straight line for too many generations, but for the first 3-4 generations should be ok. This is just a quick overview on the subject.

What are sexlink chickens?
in sex-linked chickens the males coloring and markings will be different looking in newly hatched chicks. For example: Golden Sex Link Chickens (also known as Golden Comets), will have reddish yellow chicks and lighter yellow chicks. The feathers are different for the different sexes. It is easy to determine if the chick is a female (pullet) or male (roo). Sex-linked chickens are not a standard chicken breed, rather a hybrid cross of two different breeds, usually combined to create highly productive hens. There are several different sex-link hybrids on the market. The benefit to buying sex-linked chicks is knowing that you have all pullets and no roosters in the bunch!
Will your other chickens and rooster hurt the chicks that will hatch in the pen?
Much of this depends on the breed, game chickens tend to be more aggresive. Chickens, like people, have individual personalities. You should never assume that ,because it is a certain breed, your chicks will be safe. Ideally, you would want to keep the roosters separate. If you must keep the rooster in the cage with the chicks I would recommend watching them closely for the first few days. Also , if a hen hatched the chicks she will most likely defend them.
