- We finally get to introduce our rooster, Fonzie, to our hens! His quarantine is over and we are excited to learn as we go. Introducing a new chicken will always lead to some pecking order scuffles, but roosters can be a bit extra tricky.
Thank you for watching!

This is second in my life seeing hen pecking rooster.
Fun fact when a rooster pecks the ground and starts peeping and looks around walks around, its trying to get a hen to come over to mate it
Oh really? I hadn’t heard that. I always heard they are supposed to do a little dance, but I have yet to see that.
I'm gonna try that
@@Growing_Groceries (I made this comment 6 months ago and I kinda found out more) but I guess when a rooster starts pecking the ground like there’s food there and when it starts peeping it’s telling the hens there’s food here so it can do the dance to impress the hen I guess. Or when the hen is distracted by (I guess food or its looking for it) the rooster makes it move and jumps onto the hen to mate the hen
Where is used to live the rooster fought so much
This rooster is a sweet heart! We got lucky with him.
Thanks for sharing your video. We just bought a nine week old rooster for our 12 girls so I’m watching so many videos on how to introduce him. I’m glad I came across your channel
Thank you! I hope the video was helpful!
He’s a handsome rooster :) we are not allowed roosters as we live in town but love seeing others! Hope they get along good!
Thank you! They all get along great :)

Are you living in America?
1:47 first blood
😄😄 Oh yes I will be a gentleman
Excellent looking rooster
You are keeping different breeds of chickens but brought one rooster
Will you breed further chicks?
I will hatch out some barn yard mix chicks this spring. I’m not concerned with keeping the breeds “true”. I actually think the mixes are more fun because you never know what they will look like. If my concern was hatching chicks to sell, that would be a different story.
@@Growing_Groceries I am currently having chicks of RIR
There are total 12. Two are male and other female.
But colorful flock looks more attractive. I am not sure how to maintain the multiple breeds together and at the same time have the pure breed
0:32 I have a sweet Plymouth Rock like the one you have she’s a sweet lady she loves humans she always wants to go on drives with us lol also is that breed a Wyandotte if u do we have the same exact chicken but a hen
Fonzie is a Wyandotte and my Pickles is the Plymouth Rock. She is my favorite hen! I don’t take her on drives but if I chose a hen to do that with it would be her! Lol
Rooster are tougher then chooks

May God guide you to Islam, our master Jesus (Jesus), peace and blessings be upon him
He is a prophet sent, the son of our Lady Mary, and he did not die while she was alive
in the sky
It will come down to earth by order of God Almighty
So that Islam will be victorious and the word of truth will be raised
Stop

I have chickens that are mixed with Americana. Some of them are pretty big. I was told they are Easter Eggers. We’ll see. I have no idea how many eggs to expect from these hens. I am incubating six more eggs to see what I get again. I am in the process of building my flock! This is my second flock. My first was a flock of nine, three each of black Austrolorps, Buff Orpington and Barred Rocks. The Orpington and the Barred Rocks got big. The Austrolorps didn’t get as big and weren’t my favorites. They were very skittish and unfriendly.
Is the rooster a light brahma
He is actually a black laced silver Wyandotte. He has been a great addition to our flock, so far!

Seems very stressful to the hens to just let a rooster in with them
He will become their protector against predators
It’s preferred to give them a few days to get accustomed to each other, close so they can see/hear each other but separated so they can’t peck. Then one evening just after dusk when the hens are sleepy and roosting, you take the rooster in and set him in to roost with the hens overnight and they “wake up” together. There will be skirmishes between the rooster & dominant hens initially but they should settle in and with the right rooster, you have happy hens.
How many chickens do you have? Total not meaning any disrespect, but the run seems small.
I have 8 chickens and the run is 10’x20’. They don’t stay in there 100% of the time though. Only when I’m not home or if I have my dog outside as she is still a bit jumpy around them :)
You're doing it wrong in my opinion
No one cares what you think.
It is preferred to give them a few days to get accustomed to each other rather than just turning them loose in with the hens but there’s more than one right way often or variations of what is considered the best/right way to do something.
But I prefer to introduce the rooster to the hens a bit slower. First, have them caged close so they can see/hear each other but separated so they can’t peck. Do this for a few days. Then one evening just after dusk when the hens are sleepy and roosting, you take the rooster in and set him in to roost with the hens overnight and they “wake up” together. There will be skirmishes between the rooster & dominant hens initially but they should settle in and with the right rooster, you have happy hens.
