I recently acquired a single cockerel a friend hatched out from my old rooster. Sadly he was the only chick who survived,so I'm having to integrate him by himself into my flock of 12 full grown hens. He is about 9 weeks old and fairly small - about half their size. I've had him since Sunday evening and have been letting him in the enclosed outside run during the day and at night he stays in the supply side of the coop (separated from the hens by chicken wire). I don't want to keep him contained too long, but not sure how badly he will get beat up - or killed - if I let him free range with the others. Any ideas/advice? Thanks in advance!
