Don't bother trying to make a mean rooster friendly. You have to do it from the time they are chicks. The mean ones won't become friendly. When they are friendly as chicks you have a better chance of having a friendly rooster. I have a rooster that just wondered over to my place. It's all...

I agree, they are either friendly or unfriendly from chicks. This poor little guy is too friendly, I can't just leave him to fend for himself. It would be cruel.

Thank you so much for your reply!!! I've had chickens before and I don't know if I want to get into the whole hen house thing again. But this is a really nice rooster. I've had rooster that are nasty, they are usually that way when they are young too. I really don't know if I have that...

I like that! You run the show.

A rooster adopted us about 3 weeks ago. I have had chickens in the past but not now. The week that he showed up it was cold and raining so I made a little pen for him in the garage, gave him some chick feed and some bird seed (he's young, big but young, he's just starting to get his long tail...

Thank you very much I really appreciate it. I will be in touch later this month.

Hi, I wanted to ask you how I could get in touch with you. I don't know how to use this website very well.

Yikes!!! That sounds pretty scary. This wayward rooster that has wandered into our lives is a pet. He comes up on our porch with me and the dog and just enjoys the company. He calmly preens and doesn't care about the dog (big golden retriever) and the dog doesn't care about him. They've...

Ok, thanks, Yesterday I made a run in our fenced woods for daytime use, today I'll put a better top on it. I think something was in the woods last night. This morning the dog was running all over the place looking for something that he smelled. He's a good watch dog and he likes keeping the...

I wasn't happy with the things I saw on line. I talked it over with my DH and we're going to build something, cause after 47 years, he knows when to pitch in. I brought 50 ft of hardware cloth with my from FL. The only catch is that I have to wait until after April 30. My procedure now is to...

Thank you. I think I'll just keep the rooster for now. I will be careful about the coop being predator proof. The raccoons here are enormous compared to FL. Good grief!! I really appreciate the heads up!!!

Thank you for that post. I'm going to check out your suggestions. I know those premade coops can be flimsy I've had a couple. One did pretty well, the other one I was careful to weatherize it every once in a while and keep it protected from the elements. I sold it when I moved. Oh, and I...

Thank you for that information. I appreciate all the help I can get.
