Intoducing a young cockerell

[newfoundland]

Does anyone out there know if i could introduce a three month old cockerell to my four warren hens. He is an unwanted lavender Aracuna. Will they fight, will the hens who are already in residence attack him, or will he dominate them. Any ideas?

Most likely they will attack if they are not familiar with him. Usually people pen new birds near each other for a few weeks before trying integration. Also, there is quarantine to consider.
