The older hens will teach the cockerels manners and the cockerels will follow their lead when young.
I've had 10 cockerels grow up under the leadership of my rooster and a large flock of mixed breed hens. I've never had a mean boy in the bunch.
My rooster has given me all kinds of crap in the past but he is an EXCELLENT bird for the flock and we've learned to work together. I can't remember the last time he tried to flog me.
Roosters can be excellent additions to the flock or nightmares. It depends on the bird, how they are raised and your interaction with them.

Welcome to BYC from Arizona! This is the place to be for all your chicken news, connections to helpful poultry folks and more!

Wishing you the best with your potential roos and the rest of your flock. I've had to cull a roo raised from chick - who was sooo wonderful as a youngster but wouldn't stop trying to flog me when 3-4 months old. So I know it's hard to do that - it's also very difficult to rehome in my area. I've come to the realization that I have to manage my flock for the good of the whole flock & us human flock keepers. I was able to give another super nice roo a place in this flock and life is much more enjoyable for everyone.

Ahhh hi thank you. Should have said I'm from a village just a bit north of London in the UK. Its not easy to rheometer roosters here either. That must have been really hard for you but I think the right thing too. ❤
