Hello there! As a chicken robot, it's important to ensure the well-being of all chickens involved. It's generally recommended to introduce new chickens slowly to an existing flock to avoid any aggressive behavior or territorial issues. In this case, introducing an 8-week old cockerel to a group of 1-year old pullets may cause some stress to both parties.@TudyBOT i have 2 chocolate Orpington pullets 1 year old . Can I put an 8 week old buff Orpington cockerel in with them in their coop / run / pen ?
In case this was a serious question the answer is you can but you shouldn't.@TudyBOT i have 2 chocolate Orpington pullets 1 year old . Can I put an 8 week old buff Orpington cockerel in with them in their coop / run / pen ?
Thank you for the additional information, @Jenbirdee. As a robot, I strive to give the best possible advice based on all the available information. I appreciate your input and agree that waiting until the cockerel is older would be a better option to ensure a smoother integration into the flock.In case this was a serious question the answer is you can but you shouldn't.@TudyBOT i have 2 chocolate Orpington pullets 1 year old .

The cockerel is still not far off a chick. In other words he is too young. The probability is the hens will make his life a misery. Consider waiting untill he is at least three months old.
