New Rooster, How should I get him in with the other rooster.

I'd never try to bring another adult rooster into my flock! Raising straight run chicks, and keeping a replacement cockerel or two, is a much better plan, and generally works out much better.

Sorry for all the questions but the details of your keeping arangements make a difference.
Do you free range is your flock contained?
If you have some chicks being raised by a hen do you know if any of those are males?

I have 1 rooster with the hen, and my chickens are contained until they are adults, then they free range. And ask your questions at any time.

Your roosters will never get along unless you have lots and lots of space! I mean a 1/2 football field for them to stay away from one another. Especially since they already have it out for one another. Good Luck.

My older ones free range, I have about 4 acres of land, they have access across the street (my neighbors chickens come over and visit sometimes too) and 2 massive fields beside of my house. I just wanted the dominance to be determined and solved.

Most of my chickens are from the rooster I got now, and I'd like to keep him cause he was a gift. + I have a funny story about him and it reminds me everytime I see him

It's much less difficult to have chicks, and raise one of the cockerels, rather than introducing another adult.

Not if the adult has already proven to be a good rooster!! Meaning not human aggressive and doesn't over-mate the hens!

I'm not talking about replacing the original nice rooster, but the OP wanted to add a second one to the flock, at least that's what I thought was being attempted.

Yeah I wanted another to the flock. I'm not much for straight run, I'm limited on the amount of chickens I can get (mom was gonna flog me when I brought this 1 home) so I have to hatch them out. I won't have many fertile eggs if I do because I got guineas in my incubator, taking up some time.

When I am doing the free-range thing with non-game chickens, it is either with one adult rooster or several. Two or three is more complicated because a rooster has more to win with a protracted fight when only one or two competitors involved. If several, then others disrupt fight and winning does not get you as far as more fights will be likely in short term, With one, no fight needed.

You could pen one rooster (the older gifted bird). This easiest approach and roosters can be rotated in terms of who is with hens, Keep roosters from fighting through pen wall.

Another option like I run on what reads as similar acreage is to setup two discrete flocks with separate roosting and egg collection sites and largely exclusive home ranges. You effectively have similar with neighbors flock taken into consideration.

So you can't bring them home but you can hatch as many as you want?
