New Asil cockerel attacking hens

[Fine Family Homestead]

I brought home an Asil cockerel and he instantly attacked any pullet that approached him. I have heritage breeds of pullets. Is there any hope that he can coexist with my flock? What is the best way to integrate him into the flock?

Separate him in a cage? No matter what breed, should never just put a new bird in a coop without proper introduction first.

There should always be a month long quarantine period as well before introduction.

Pictures of the bird(s) will give us ideas as well.

That’s what I’m doing now. Do you know anything about game fowl? Is there any hope that he can coexist with heritage breed females?

He might be able to. What's his age, & Strain?

Define “attacks”, please. Pecking with injury; forced mating; something else?

How old is the cockerel, and how old are the pullets?
