Introducing Young Roosters to Older Roo who is alone.

[freyja528]

I have at least three 6(ish) week olds that are clearly roosters. How long should I wait before moving them to my bachelor pad? Said bachelor pad only has one rooster currently. When I do move them, how do you introduce young roosters to a year old rooster who has been on his own for several months now? Is it the same as putting new hens with an established flock?

Sooner is better than later.

Use the look but don't touch method for at least a few days or longer if needed.

I've had great success doing this.

Hope it goes well for you also!
