Hello, Roxy, and welcome to BYC!

A fully mature rooster, not a cockerel, will not be interested in non-sexually mature females. But the chicks can start the 'look don't touch' period of integration starting at 5 weeks. And as Sourland mentioned he will likely ease the integration. Mine has on many occasions.
