My Rooster lost all his ladies

[KLEs]

I lost my last hen tonight, I think an eagle took her from the pen (electric fence enclosure) leaving Gary The Rooster totally unhinged, he was making lots of strange noises spinning in a circle :/
My question is, should I get my Rooster some pullets (15-20wks)? Will he accept them even if they aren’t sexually mature? Strategies, ideas to keep Gary (see photo) from loosing it? Thanks!

Welcome to BYC. I am truly sorry for the loss of Gary's hens.
You should not get any pullets until you can keep them secure. For that matter, you should probably make sure Gary is safe.

Hello, and welcome to posting. Whatever took your hen's will be back for your Gary. If you cannot make sure that nothing can get Gary, then maybe you should wait on getting more hen's for him. You need to shore up the top of your pen to keep the eagles and hawk's from getting in there.

Hi, welcome to BYC! some overhead fortification is needed, perhaps a solid roof over your run. Pleased to meet you and thanks for joining us. Sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for your and Gary's loss. I am far from an expert, but if you get some young pullets, can you keep them separated from Gary, but within his view?

I have a problem rooster -- which is putting it mildly, he is way too aggressive with me -- but he is very protective of his girls. Billy Boy spends much of his life in "chicken jail," where he is penned to keep me safe, with his girls are on the other side of the fence. He can see them, socialize with them and tidbit for them. He can do everything except breed them and attack me.

Hope things work out for you and Gary. He is a very handsome boy.

Yes, your rooster will accept new pullets. Just remember you will continue to lose hens to the eagle until you make other arrangements to keep your flock protected. Welcome to BYC and sorry for all your losses.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
He'll accept them but so will the eagles. Do you have a way to offer any cover from the eagles?
