Help with roosters

Sounds like that would work just fine! Sometimes going slow is not just less stressful on the birds, but also the humans! Lol

Lol I'm stressing thinking about it for some reason haha. But yes I felt taking it slow would be best. Thank you!

So someone should be coming today for him. A bit sad but it has to be done. So it's not stressful on him either? To just pick him up and put him in a box and of he will go to a new home. Will he be fine just leaving like that and my hens.

He'll adjust. Of course there will be a little stress, but chickens don't like change of any kind. They do, however, recover within a relatively short period of time. Your rooster will be just fine.

If possible organize it in the afternoon or when it's dark. This will help with stress. But he'll adjust to his new home quickly, it's in a chickens nature.

I'm glad you ended up giving him a new home, instead of making him food.

In my opinion slowly adjusting the hens to new coop and rooster is better but if you do decide to just throw them together they will eventually sort it out.
