Rooster Help

[BOs and Silkie]

I just realized a hen that I ordered is a rooster. He is a partridge silkie and I have two other Buff Orpingtons. Will he mate with them?? If so, are there anyways I can prevent it from happening?

Thanks

Keep them separated?

Any rooster will mate with any hen. Why do you not want him to?

Separate enclosures is the only way I know of or giving him away. The eggs will taste the same, fertilized or not, if that's what you are worried about.
