Thought this was neat so I would share it. A few months back we got a rooster. He was a great protector, but VERY human aggressive. After a few months, I had my fill and he took a trip to Stewville. Population 1. Yesterday we got a nee rooster. He is an Isbar. Very pretty. 2 years old. Not human...

Thanks so much! He doesnt draw blood ever, and doesnt hunt them down after he pecks them. Just seems a little odd cause I though he would want them to eat. But as stated, I will probably never understand. I don't have feathers and a beak lol.

Roger that. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure he wasn't being overly aggressive.

So about a month ago I got a rooster. So far so good. Stays with the girls, protects them, does everything I think a good rooster should do. One question though. They have free access to lay pellets all day, as well as full free range. Once a day I go out and spread a little (but enough for all...

What are the provisions of Ch. 155? That seems to be your only out. However, I would ask what they consider game birds. Cause most people do not consider a chicken a game bird.

She has healed great. Never in my wildest dreams did I think she would recover from that. But she is perfectly fine. Crazy!

I let them out all day. I tried keeping them in part of the day when we first got them, but they looked so darned unhappy. :-( Thanks for the input!

So we free range our chickens all day. For the last month or two (as long as we have had them) they have always stayed close to the coop. As of late they seem scared to be around the coop during the day. While they used to eat around the coop, they are now over in different parts of the...

Ok. Thanks so much!

Ok. I was reading through alot of posts, and really didnt want to cull her. I just couldnt bring myself to do it, since she is moving and she has almost self-segregated herself. Thanks for the post!

Left town for Christmas (chickens in care of family friends). Got back today, and one of the girls has a NASTY wound on the neck and upper "shoulder". It is torn down to the meat. However it looks like an older (2-4 days) and is not bleeding. It is all scabbed up, but she still has a gaping...

Welp so far so good! He isn't crazy protective at the moment. He will alert though pretty regularly. The one thing that I do really enjoy is that, Ill go out twice a day and throw some grain in the field for them to pick at, and when I come over he will crow to all the girls and they come...

Thanks! I think it will work out!

Yeah. He let me pet him and pick him up as I put him in the cage to bring him home. I figure for $10 and what I had seen of him, it was either a good buy, or an expensive fried chicken. LOL. But after just a few hours the ladies have taken to him very well.

Here he is. So far so good. When I visited, he was very protective of his current girls and alert. Showed no signs of comming at me. So I picked him up. He doesn't look big, but he is huge and very vocal.

I added to my flock last week. As soon as I put them in they jumped back out and free ranged. Haven't lost one yet. They just follow the other girls.

The one I am looking at is 11 months old currently. Is that good or bad?!
