We unfortunately lost our amazing rooster last night to him defending the flock against a predator. I've been looking for a new rooster to take his place, but my only concern is that one of our resident hens has a chick that's about 3 weeks old currently. Should I wait to get a new rooster and introduce him to the flock until after that chick is grown? I wanna do right by our flock, but with winter approaching we've had an uptick with predators being more brazen - the hen with the chick lost her other chick 2 days ago to a falcon that got through the netting above the run.
