I'm looking into getting a roo for my 6 pullets, which are 12 weeks today. Most of the roos I'm finding on Craigslist, etc are 4 months or older. Should I wait until the girls are bigger to get a boy, or will a 4 month old cockerel be ok with my 3 month old girls?
 
I think I would wait another month. Or if you are going to put the roo in quarantine for a month away from the rest of the flock, then get one now. Once his quarantine is over the girls should be old enough to fend for themselves.

Good luck.
