    Re-introducing cockerel--- big question, long post.

    Thanks for the advice. Why the 😲 reaction for that last post @Chickenman MAN? I don't know... his mating practices were the only reason he didn't get put in there 3 weeks ago in the first place, so I'll have to just watch him or keep him separated somehow because I doubt he has calmed down any...
