I hope so. And he is going to be "rehomed" to a nice Mexican family. My husband had to go to work but he sure was upset. I would post a photo but it is too gross. Thank you for responding so quickly. This sure does hurt. I was so gentle with him and was calming him down and BAM! I am sad, but...

This may sound weird but I didn't know who else to ask. I have a rooster who is turned vicious and I picked him up to put him in his pen (we have had to isolate him, he is destroying the birds) and he pecked my bicep and broke the skin. The injury is very odd. It bled a little but mostly under...

Thank you for the laugh! I agree!!

Yes, about 15 hens! He is pretty bossy but he has scrapped with a few over food. I was wondering if they molt.

He usually looks like this He is such a beautiful boy. He is an Australorp. He is about 8 months old, he has reg wood shavings in the coop, they have roost poles but usually stay out in the fenced in in chicken yard. There is another younger roo but they grew up together and have never...

Thank you for all of your help! I am hoping they start laying soon.

This photo was taken in June. This one was taken later in the summer. The hens have filled out but haven't started laying yet, but I think one just did. I got a little egg the other day. There was a roo in the group (rescued, long story, good ending though) and he is a beautiful, big roo...

They are beautiful. It looks like a boy.

Thank you for your kind words. The survivors have been vaccinated twice (with 6 weeks in between) and they are thriving! They are doing great. None of them are sick and seven out of the 13 are laying. I am hoping the younger ones start laying soon. They have been such a joy. I am not looking to...

I got one like that just yesterday. I am going to measure it. It looks like a duck egg. They are really fun to find!

I would have fainted!

Quote: I am not sure about the age. She/he is supposed to be at least 6 months old. I have two other roos and they stand very tall and walk differently. I will go try to get another photo of her backside.

Quote: Could you please give your reasons? I would like to learn how to tell the difference. Sometimes, I don't have a specific reason. It's just "breeder's intuition", I suppose, based on BR crosses I've had and seen as well as Delaware crosses I've seen. And I could be wrong. If this is a...

Quote: It was a joke I didn't even notice the other chicken until you said something. I thought that is what you meant, but I thought maybe you were referring to the tail feathers. She is always cuddling up with the the little roo and hen that are also her age. So, I was hoping she is a hen...

What do you mean??? There is a hen behind him/her.

I already have two roos that don't fight, and this one seems to be really sweet but I am praying it is a girl. But the feet are really big. The comb is small. I just don't know. PLEASE take a guess. I think he/she is about 5 months old. More photos:

Quote: I have to agree with Mypicklebird. The BEST thing I could have done was to bring one dead and one dying bird to the livestock diagnostic lab to get them necropsied. It is very important to bring a live bird that you would be putting down anyway because chicken's blood clots very fast...

I have them on Layena because that is what is at TSC. Is there a better brand?
