After a week and a half of introducing my new one year old hens to my 4.5 month old bends through fencing I finally braved the introduction process. I had to put 2 older ones in a small cage to themselves for excessively bullying. One was pulling a beak full of feathers, and the other was also...

My rooster is a little over 4 months old and is starting to bite my hens esp on the top of their wings. They’re all the same age. is this normal for his age or is he just being a butthead and being mean? Not sure if I should separate him for awhile or what. I love him and have had him since...

My light Brahma rooster is now attacking all the hens and my other rooster pulling feathers aggressively. I tried to give him a chance and basically separated him for a bit and when I let him back out he was right back at it. He is a little over 4 months is there any way to stop this...

I was able to get 6 one year old hens. 5 RIRs and 1 black Maran. My current flock is 4ish months old. With them being older do I have to wait awhile to fully introduce them? They already lay eggs of course so I don’t want to have to keep them in the smaller outdoor pen for too long. They are...

This is my first time with roosters. My RIR rooster is around 4 months old. His comb was sitting straight the other day but the front part is a bit flopped. We are in summer and he’s been eating and drinking and crowing as usual: could it be the heat? Or just him still growing? Pic of his comb...

Man oh man have I daydreamed about my coop for months! The main portion of the coop is complete except some painting and trim! It’s a large 8x8 so we can get plenty more if we want ☺️ I still have more pictures to take now that the door is also on. Next is the flyway. The inside is at least done...

I have 3 larger RIR’s one I know is for sure a cockerel his tail feathers are far bigger and so are his saddles. I have 2 like this and their tails look like hens and they’re also not trying to crow like my male. And my male’s tail feathers are more pointed towards the end. These two have more...

My chicks are about 4-5 weeks old. One whom I have a feeling is a roo. He has been making movements like trying to crow. Do they practice crowing before they can actually make the sound? This is my first roo.

My chickens are 4 1/2 months old and i haven't been able to handle and hold them since they were about 7 weeks old. Can't let them around the yard because of the dog. My husband is building me a bigger area outside out coop so they will have more room to roam, be safe from the dog lol, and that...
