Need advice

Mrs Moe is about 5, Never had her with a rooster until now.
She drew litttle blood off him :-(

Here is the rooster.

Did you answer why you want a rooster ??
Is it important to you ??
Because once there's blood , that's a problem .

You have to decide how much time you want to invest in this rooster that could very well make your hens life miserable.....

I Just got him last night, had him in a pen by himself. Today I let hens out first, The hens were over by his pen and he was going crazy so I let him out.. The 4 hens took to him fine, the other Miss Moe seems to hate him. She is the original one left out of the ones I bought as chicks so she has been here a lot longer than other hens.So she is Queen B amongst the other 4 hens

My understanding is that he should stay in there til they are all relaxed with each other ... a few days
