OK, I'm new here, and accidently posted this in the wrong area, so here I go again.
We bought some chickens as chicks, and about three or so months later we got a baby rooster we had been waiting for. Although he has now grown to about their size - and has a little ways to go - the hens are not very nice to him. They are kept seperate in the run, but get to free-run together during most days. He keeps to himself and runs away from them when they get near. Does anyone know whether he'll ever integrate with them to the point of being able to stay in the run with them, or even mate (our initial goal)?
Thank you!
