If all I had to do is watch chickens, I might try this. Although I don't want a completely different flock at the moments. We just started our chicken journey in March of this year. Having babies already was a surprise - although I do have outlets for them after I grow my flock to 12 hens and my rooster. I am thankful my friend is excited to get this little guy. He will be much happier. He just wants a friend he can hang with that isn't a towering human. She has already named him, so that makes me feel good. His name is Mordecai.It's just you mentioned hanging on to him for a while and I would be fascinated to read what happens. If I had the room and the coop space I would wait and see if the hen will take him on. If she does, you have a new tribe possibly.
I've had a couple of orphan roosters in the past which none of the other tribes would take on which I looked out for for a few months until they got accepted by some hens as adults.
