Hi everyone,
I have 24 single ladies. They're 24 weeks old and consist of black sex-links, red sex-links and easter eggers. Currently, they're living in a hoop house and I haven't been letting them roam about outside the coop.
I am considering taking in a 2 year-old black Australorp rooster which is supposed to be friendly. His owners need to find him a home because the neighbors are sick of his crowing. I live in the country and welcome the noise!
Anyway. I know he should be quarantined for a few weeks, but other than that, I don't know how to introduce him to the ladies. Do any of you have advice for me?
