roosters

Hello, I need some advice with my two roosters. I've had the Brahma for two years, and then I bought pullet chicks last year ; one of the Amerucanas grew up to be a rooster. Go figure, lol. They grew up together and lived in harmony for a year, except for the Brahma chasing off the Amerucana...

I am being given a Golden Sexlink rooster. I currently don’t have a rooster for my flock, but I think one is needed for protection. Research shows they are very gentile and docile. I’m wondering if this is not a good breed for protecting. Thanks in advance for your advice.

We have raised chickens for several years, adding to the flock by buying newly hatched chicks from various sources. We made a decision from the beginning that we didn't want any roosters, and so have only purchased sexed chicks. But, as was bound to happen eventually, our recent batch included...

Hello, I'm a property manager and recently began managing a small apartment complex in Phoenix Arizona. Upon arrival at the complex we quickly realized that there are 40-50 chickens running loose at the property. I'm looking to see if anyone can help in finding them a new home as we cannot have...

My husband is ready to cull two of our three boys but I am desperate for another option. I have a one year old barnyard mix rooster and a six month old Easter Egger that would make wonderful additions to a flock in need. Please help me find them a refuge so I don't have to reluctantly make...

I have 5 week-old South African indigenous layer chicks (not quite sure of the exact breed) that I got from a local farm. They weren’t able to sex the chicks when I got them but I just rolled with it without given it the consideration needed. I’m hearing that it may be difficult to keep a small...

Looking for advice and shared experience. I need to combine three young roosters with three laying hens. A little background: I raised three chicks that I got from a guy on FBMarketplace. All three turned out to be roosters. Sigh. They will reach 20 weeks at Thanksgiving. I recently took my...

I have a flock of 12 hens and 2 roosters. They are all roughly 8 months old. One of the roosters is clearly dominant. The other spends his day on the outskirts of the flock or with the occasional hen if they can find privacy. The only time he seems to have much company is in the evening when 3-4...

It is almost 12 weeks and has been significany larger than all of its flock mates since about week 6 or 7. The rest of them barely have any comb to speak of that are of similar breeding. I’m thinking it’s a roo but curious if anyone else could weigh in from these photos. Thanks!

Hello all! I would like to count on your knowledge to make a list of all places in the USA where, simply put, roosters can crow. I will move to the US, and we have decided that we will only live where the roosters can crow, no invasive complaints, no irrational laws, no whatever. Anywhere, any...

I've had chickens for almost a decade now but have always ordered strictly pullets direct from the hatchery & have been lucky enough that the sexers got it right 100% of the time. I ordered Easter Egger pullets for the first time & the hatchery did advise me that their sexing for them is only...

I'm processing three that are just under a year and have become very aggressive. I have unfortunately had to put it off for scheduling reasons and the weather hasn't been ideal this past week so they now have some sores on their feet from the crate I have them separated in getting a little...

Roosters near Niles, Michigan. I am willing to drive for a good home, I really would love to give these guys a good home before the morbid alternative this weekend. We are not allowed roosters in our area. Most likely EE, some kind of silkie mix, and one I’m just not sure. They are all nice and...

I'm really interested in feather color genetics but have limited knowledge of it & would love to learn. I have Whiting True Blues that I'll be breeding & I have 3 roosters that I'm trying to decide on who to keep & who to cull based on which will give us the most variety of feather color in...

Good morning lovely chicken peeps! I am running in to a bit of a pickle. I have 6 hens and 2 roosters. All are around 3 months. As of yet, the roosters are not attacking each other but I've caught both of them attacking my hens. I started to post them but it seems EVERYONE is currently...
