    Does this mean I have a roo?

    Yea I agree. After looking and comparing all three it does appear that it's a cockerel. I've raised chicks before but this is my first clutch that were hatched by my chickens and the first bantam chicks. But with all the ones I've raised none made any type of crow sound in the morning. And his...

    Should I find new rooster?

    I'm sorry I did misread your post. I thought you were saying the hens were bigger than the rooster. I'm in complete agreement on getting a new roo then. Being that much bigger than the hens isn't going to do much good for you. It'd be safer for your hens as well.

    what chickens should I use for egg laying

    Maybe. I don't have neighbors with hens and they laid brown eggs which the family did not buy. it may have been that some of the younger ones laid earlier than what I thought and I counted it as my active chickens eggs. Or just purely miscounting. I was merely saying my experience and what I...

    what chickens should I use for egg laying

    It was a mistype 2-3 eggs is what was meant. I don't know how it was done and I fed them normal food. I would get one in the morning, one in the after noon and one at night. The norm was 2 eggs a day though.

    Cranky rooster

    My advice is if you want to keep him you need to show him you are the boss. I have 3 silkies roosters. All came to me with nasty attitudes. They would lunge at me and try to throw up their nonexistent spurs. If you're quick grab their legs with three fingers of the dominant hand. Your pointer...

    Should I find new rooster?

    Idk if this will help but I'll tell you my experience. I have been trying to get chicks from my girls for a long time. I had a big Roo. Beautiful and all the girls liked him. However he wasn't a very good roo when it came to dominance. He wouldn't mate with the hens nor act very rooster like. He...

    what chickens should I use for egg laying

    Rhode Island Reds (RIR) are good. Idk if you are getting them from a tractor supply but they call them production reds and production whites. I've had both and I was getting 3-4 eggs a day from each

    Does this mean I have a roo?

    Well this morning I as able to catch which one is making the sound. It is the little black one. After looking into more info (this is the first time my chickens have hatched any chicks) I'm pretty sure that he is in fact a he. The crow isn't quite right however he acts like a young cockerel. The...

    Does this mean I have a roo?

    I dont know which one makes the noise but if i were to guess which one was male id day this one. This one is bigger and his comb in more developed than the other two. Theyre bantams so they have an attitude to begin with but this one has a bit more.
