Hi Rene, depends on how old is old. Be careful there. If you just want a few hens to keep him happy bantams will do fine. I would not suggest this for a young cockerel. On the other hand I wouldn't expect him to "get mean" in fact just the opposite. Looking for attention he might bring you goodies.

> I have an old rooster who has outlived his hens. He has one left and she is looking pretty run down. I am thinking of getting some new hens for him but I have a couple of questions. 1) how old do the new hens have to be before I can put them in with him? 2) I don't suppsose I coud get bantam hens with a standard rooster? 3) if I don't get his new hens right away and his last one dies will he get mean without hens to look after?
