Dead Chicken

[Nikks Fox]

Hi everyone... My rooster has become a victim of a cat attack, I am so sad as he has 3 hens and 4 chicks, he was killed during the early hours of the morning. Luckily I have another Rooster and his two hens but I am not sure how to introduce them . I have tried to put them together in a garden, but they huddle together in their separate groups. I have also tried to put the rooster in the coop with one of the female chicks but he pecks the small one when it came closer. Does anyone know what I should do.
