He is a 6 month old wyandotte bantam, and the existing flock of 20 standard sized hens are all laying, various breeds and ages. He will be joining them in their existing run and coop. The fact that he is smaller than the hens worries me.
The roo was mine and I had to give him away, but I will be able to help supervise the introduction. He was like a pet to me so I'm worried about the hens hurting or killing him if they don't like him. I don't know what might happen, especially since he is a bantam and the hens will be bigger than him. So does anyone have ideas on what I can expect? Will they love him or hate him?
