Rooster is acting strange

[Ihavesomechickens]

The chickens should begin laying eggs by the end of the month (according to the timelines I found on the internet). So, should I wait until I see an egg to start feeding it layer feed? Thanks

I wouldn’t feed any of them later feed unless you can make sure the rooster won’t eat it. If you can somehow make it so he can’t eat the layer feed, I would wait till they are all laying.

Thanks for the advice, I certainly will consider taking those steps! Also, is there anything you’d recommend doing with the other 8 hens? They all look fine and healthy, but I really wouldn’t want this to start effecting them.

IF it's some disease, they've already been exposed.
So isolating them might be moot, plus hard to do.
