Rooster don't mate with hens for the fun of it. It is species imperative and instinctual.
A rooster will mate with as many hens as possible as long as he has the strength. They really only have one way (the Kamasutra is not popular reading in the henhouse and Masters & Johnson have yet to print in hen scratch)...
The rooster picks a hen from his harem and does a "dance" for her letting her know she has been chosen. He will do a little sidestep, dip his wings and grab her by the neck feathers. Willing or not, at this point the hen will flatten or squat down to the ground and the rooster steps up onto her back still holding onto the feathers of her neck. The hen lifts her tail slightly to offer access to her cloaca and the rooster touches his cloaca to hers. There is no penetration as with mammals since bird anatomy is different. Sperm is transferred to the hen via this contact and it is all over in 15 to 30 seconds. The hen often protests and shakes off the dust as the rooster goes on to find another conquest. Truth be known, the hens probably feel if they had their preference it would be that he had found another hen!
