Our first bachelor is Fern. He seemed to integrate really nicely with the ladies. He established dominance, and his alpha hen Fussy has already spent time with the flock (she keeps escaping from the hen yard at night to roost with the roosters, then demanding to be out back with the hens during the day. #oddbird ) so he was quickly accepted without any confrontation. If I'm honest, this is the rooster I am most partial to. I'm hoping once he's had a chance to roost with the flock a few nights, I can let them free range and allow the other roosters to mingle, but we'll see. I may have to pen up the other roos in a bachelor pad until we get more hens. For now, there is peace in the hen yard. Oh, and we got another little bantam egg today from the other flock. 💚 #chickens #cochins #chickenbachelorette #unrulyfarm https://www.instagram.com/p/CF4q9EalWyQ/?igshid=1cplrcqprmvpc
