HI Again

so I have some more questions. I am sure I will have a lot more lol
My girls are presently living in the house until they are feathered and old enough to go outside
My question is how do I go about introducing them to Popcorn my rooster.
We have a coop that was built for him but he doesn't live in it at all or sleep in it. He actually roosts in a stall
should I put the girls in and let him free range still ?
my thoughts were to keep them separated for a few weeks and then let them free range together during the day.
I figure he will want to go in the coop with them at night after he gets to knew them
anybody have experience with introducing to a lone rooster ?
Im slightly concerned as he showed up in my yard when he was only a baby and has never had a flock or even a rooster friend.
Pretty sure he thinks I am his only friend.
How do you think this will go ?
excited and scared for him all at the same time
