So, I currently have my main coop which houses 4 assorted hens an a rooster. The rooster hates me. I have found a sanctuary that will take him when I've decided I'm ready to give up. I also have aTractor Supply coop with 3 chicks. 1 is about 8 weeks old the younger 2 are 5 weeks old and I'm thinking one of them is a rooster. My questions are, if I'm going to remove my current rooster - do I do it before or after introducing the younger chickens or remove him and introduce the new ones at the same time? My flock handled the last introduction of 2 hens pretty low stress, but unsure if the adult roo would go after a 8 week old roo?
