two roosters

Okay. A few days ago, we bought a huge black Americauna rooster who is about 7 months old. My neighbor has a free range Derbyshire Redcap rooster who is about a year old. They got him like a week before we got our new rooster. Previously, all the chicks we had before died thanks to a homeowner...

Things have been too peaceful here lately so of course today I offer to take in the last four chickens an elderly neighbor was needing to rehome. I was only going to take her three hens but I just could not leave their rooster all alone. So I have the four if them gated off together in my...

Hi! I have 14 hens and 2 roosters (Whiting True Green and Buff Orpington) all 3 months old and have been together since day 1. We got a surprise rooster and I was wondering if there is a chance I could keep both. Would the hen to rooster ratio be okay? As far as space goes- they have a 100sqft...

My lead rooster, Silverwings, about 3 or 4 years old, showed signs of leg mites so I isolated him for treatment. I put him in the bachelor pen. This evening my kid accidentally opened a gate, releasing him to the area where the flock, including the (formerly) submissive yearling BJG, George...

Hey! I wanted to ask something. My chickens are about a month old and me and my grandma noticed something. Their combs are turning red. We know it's a sign of sexual maturity but it doesn't make sense because they are only 1 month old. They aren't black, or pale pink or purple or anything. I...

Our little bantam roo (lil Mayo) of 4 months suddenly started limping one day. Checked for injuries or bumble foot, but nothing. He seemed to just be getting on with it and eating drinking socializing very normal so we left it. Four weeks ago I came home to find him in the bushes completely...
