Introduction help!!

[Langshanlover1]

I currently have a cockerel named Chester that is about 2 months old and he's my little baby. Chester follows me around and I'm pretty sure he thinks he's a dog because of how much time he spends with the dogs. I decided not to put him in with the rest of the chickens because my rosters in there are not very friendly and I don't want anything to happen to him. I'm getting ready to buy some new chicks so he doesn't think he is a dog for the rest of his life and because I want some fertile eggs from him eventually. These chicks I'm going to be getting are around 6 weeks old and I'm pretty sure there are 4 pullets and a cockerel and I worried about introducing them to Chester because he kinda bullies the dogs around. Do you think there will be a problem introducing them and how should I do it?

With their ages you might not have the same difficulty as you would introducing him to an established flock. I would still keep them in separate cages so that they can "look but not touch" for at least a week and then.

When you do introduce them, make sure everyone has a place where they can hide if need be. Out of sight out of mind.
