Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

BF mowed a good week ago needs it again although did do the front twice

guess walk behind did sourdough biscuits, peanut butter cookie bars and sourdough bread rising now
 
So at what age can I give my little barred rock Cockrell to my friends? They have mature hens. I’ve never had a little rooster before, temperament is definitely different. He already thinks he’s king of the hill :)

Sometime between 8 to 12 weeks is a good age to integrate a cockerel into a mature hen flock. He'll still be young enough for those older girls to teach him manners, but will be old enough to tolerate getting beat up a bit.
 
My Ameracauna cockerel has always been really good to my girls best thing
he is still young enough to get the crap handed back to him but not a bruised or bare
back in the bunch
