Can't really keep him... live in the city and really only wanted to have hens. I can return him to the farm he came from. I just feel guilty doing so... the other chicken I brought home with him is quite attached to him. My older hen is not really bonding with either one.

I thought he might be older because he was bigger than the other chicken, but it could be 3-4 months.

Yeah, I suspected the same just a bit too late. Guess we have to say handsome fella instead of pretty girl. Thanks so much for your help!!
