Got a better pic of our little cockerel. His Spitzhauben father, Jude, was a singleton chick as well. He was raised in the big flock and got along with his father. Kind of like an understudy. When the father was killed by a raccoon, Jude seamlessly took over the flock at age 1.
If this chick continues to get along with the bantam rooster in the little flock, he can stay. The rooster, Robin Hood, is not in any way aggressive twd him, but the hen that is not his mom, is a bit mean to him. That said, cockerels need some discipline in order to learn their place and grow up to be good roosters.
