I have 11 week old chicks which I want to put with my two Polish hens and rooster. My dominant hen received them well. Her hen pecked sister takes out her frustrations on them but they are about the same size so she gets them into a panic but they would probably settle quite soon. I am more worried about what a rooster would be expectd to do with chicks of this age. He started to dash at them so I removed him and didn’t dare to try again. They are separated by wire for now. Would it be cruel to hobble or tether the rooster at first? Thanks.
