Somtimes roosters will fight eachother and somtimes they'll get along. I currently have 2 roosters and around 15 hens, they all get along great! It'll probably just take him some time to get used to the new place, the new chickens & the new people! Good luck!

Yes I was so excited! They all layed their first eggs on the same day! But don't worry mine did that too, I got these 3 eggs last Tuesday but none if them layed Wednesday. Thursday I got 1 egg & I'm finally getting 2 a day now! They're still a little smaller but I can tell they're getting to be...
