Not a good idea to add to flock at this time of year. The breeding is over till next spring and the **** wont fit in at present. Better to get a mature cockerel for companion/protector of the hens.

Hope your hens a full-feathered. Time to feed them up for winter hardships. Add hot water to mash feed and u may get some eggs. Put false eggs or golf ball into hen-house to encourage laying.
