I raised 10 chicks from day old to ~16 weeks old all together, all female of a couple different breeds. I introduced an adult (1yr old) rooster into the flock and I would like to see if anyone else has done something similar and what was the outcome.
I have had him in the flock for 2 weeks now and seems like he is an outcast, the top hen won't let him eat near her or the other hens. He has not "cock-a-doodle-doo'd" yet and I am concerned he will never be allowed to fertilize the eggs (once they start laying). Did I introduce him too early/late and will he be a proper roo?
