    Will rooster harm chicks?

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I'll probably give the rooster around a month or a little less to settle in before I give my hen the eggs.

I was also planning on buying a rooster to hopefully give my flock some protection while free roaming out of their enclosure. I was wandering if anyone had an opinion on when I...
