    Adult Rooster with baby rooster (about 10 weeks) and only 2 hens

    Thank you for your feedback! So far they all get along pretty well and now I'm no longer worried. I just wanted to make sure my cockerel won't get hurt. I'm very new at raising chickens, I've only had them for a few days.

    Adult Rooster with baby rooster (about 10 weeks) and only 2 hens

    I"m just wondering how long I have to rehome the adult rooster before things get messy.. I want to keep the baby one (we thought he was a hen when we bought him) and don't want him hurt by the adult rooster. Currently the adult rooster is treating the baby like his offspring, but I understand...
