Hi all! We are acquiring a rooster from an acquaintance probably tomorrow, after a run of predator problems leaving me in need of both protection for my remaining hens and more chickens. My girls are all between about 16 and 18 weeks although not laying quite yet.
Anything I should know? Can I just put him in, or does he need to spend a few days locked in the coop? I know quarantine would be ideal but it isn’t feasible at the moment so…fingers crossed all’s well. Anything else in particular to be aware of?
Thanks!
