I just adopted some new birds yesterday and I see this rooster is raw and red on his underside and around the vent. I treated him (and the rest) for mites as a precaution. Any ideas? I have them quarantined away from the rest of my birds.
Hi, I'm having some trouble with my roosters. I got a batch of 50 'aracaunas' free with my cx cross I ordered from a hatchery this spring. They are now around 15 weeks. The problem is they have selected a few and are trying to mount them. Is this normal behavior?
I have a coop full of araucana, Americauna, and Easter Eggers and I am hoping there are at least a couple of hens in there. Problem is, I seem to be completely incapable of figuring all of this out. So, please help and then let me in on how you can tell on each of the birds. :) thanks for...
This is my wonderful rooster, Ricky. He is quite friendly and is very good to his hens if that helps with determining the breed. I can only guess that he might be over a year old, he was given to us last fall, already full grown. Thanks for your help.
