Yes at 3 4 5 and 6. I have neighbors...even with the crow fest, no one cares. I can hardly hear it in my house... Why all the fuss? Harley's and trash trucks..I hear and annoy me.

I think also, they can. I have 3. They were not raised together and I just sold the old head guy and brought in a new head guy. All is well. But 2 are only just crowing for about 4 weeks. One is 1/2 bantam. So he parks himself by the broody momma in her pen with chicks (He decided they...

i saw my polish roo really struggle with my cochin.....she is like small turkey size... he struggled 3 or 4 times to connect....but her first egg did appear fertile. I guess he does know something...and he isn't as fuzzy.....

my polish, that I just sold. was a bit rough... I put it down to inexperience. at 6 months he has absolutely no idear...and they don't see so great. This guy was not rough, but the girls didn't respond to his dance... so he did the sneak attack and they got used to that. ;) give the guy...

Gosh it's been a long while.. I have a problem. I love roosters. I am sure my neighbors do not, however the po po has not been here once...(neighbors are indoor people? and can't hear through closed windows either) I was hoping to skate by with one....no compaints...then I had...

It would probably be useful, to people who can do it....to not raise a lone rooster. He should be within a flock where there are other roosters. He can then see how things are done, the right way. Like the teenage elephants...running rampant, acting ridiculous and dangerous to everything in...

agreed. Not so much experience, but in A TON of research ( I read til, my eyes bleed) Don't worry, Gosh is 21 weeks not even 6 months? Give 'im til at least 12 months to be full strength rooster.

This is interesting. I think I may have the same sorta thing about to go on. Pretty sure one of my Beautiful Breda's is a Roo. They are maybe 8 10 weeks old. They have a little flock, they all came together, penned together even though there is one about 5 or 6 weeks. They started free...

Hmmm, So one is a Polish thats the guy now. The one I "need" will be Ameraucana and maybe a Breda. I think all three of those are generally thought to be more on the mellow end. Anyone with thoughts on those, feel free to share. I guess it will be a try and see what happens. I'll just need...

Hey, that's funny..."those who can do, those who can't teach" Where are you getting friends for your little hen?

ewwww, grosss! LOL

Did you try modification? It seems to work well, except in crazies... kinda like people.

you can try playing radio outside. Sounds silly, but my guy crows on sounds, the contant soft background keeps him occupied I guess. I have "shades" on the coop window, so he only crows at 630. About 20 times, but can't hear it with windows closed. He is even getting better at getting...

He is not used to seeing this tiny thing. Very different that an adult, and chickens prefer keepers they know. It just is. He isn't sure what she is, a threat like a predator or not. Give him a chance to sort it out. Maybe put him away while she is outside ( I put mine in the garage when...

My D'Uccle Cockerel was a wonderful gentleman. Crowed at respectful times of day. Was great with the girls, never agressive, took treats from my hand.... Your Grammy will enjoy him for sure!

So...I could let them run together. I don't feel that I have enough hens yet.. Although the current guy is definitely subordinate material. He only mates every now and then, rarely crows during the day unless someone walks past or kids scream at the playground or outside (like barking dog...

Hey all! Jumping right in, I will read back in the mean time. I have a rooster. He is good. All around good. I want to keep this guy with the main free range flock. I WANT another roo to breed for my little plan... I don't want to have a crow fest in the wee hours....I don't want...
