    Can we talk about rooster raising?

    I grew up in a Puerto Rican family. I assure you I know all about Rooster fighting and how brutal it can be. These are 3.5 month old birds.....its unusual for that one bird to even be light years ahead of the others in maturity. They were all purchased and have been raised together. This 1 birds...

    I do! They provide me lots of entertainment and peace. I hsve PTSD also and they seem to help with that as well. I spend most of my days outside with them and I love it.

    Official BYC Poll: Where Do You Buy Your Feed From & Why?

    I use TSC for the majority of my feed....but I also order Barley and Modesto Milling feed from other suppliers. I give my flock all whole grain feeds and a pellet for hens...they eat well and have variety. I spend alot...but it keeps them healthy and looking good. Im fairly new to raising...

    Can we talk about rooster raising?

    Today was eye opening. My Cockerel Red went after another and grabbed him by the feathers of his upper neck SEVERAL TIMES today and held on to the point the other cock was crying out! No wounds or blood...but obvious dislike between the 2. The one being picked on is the most mature...in my...

    Can we talk about rooster raising?

    Question about my young cockrels behavior. He has started to exhibit some dominance type behavior over other members of the flock. They are all the same age, born in October and have been raised together. He is also starting to get into skirmishes....small ones..with a couple of brahma cocks and...

    Need your input to help draft new city ordinance for Backyard Chickens!

    Theres nothing wrong with having a rooster. Nowadays rooster collars are easily accesible and can provide relief from noise. In truth, roosters are no more noisy than that pesky barkaholic dog of your neighbors. In fact, their noise is more soothing.

    Rooster Crowing Observations

    Are Australorps known for maturing early? I am pretty sure I have at least 1 more cockrel...but hes maturing at a much slower rate. I also have 3 Buff Brahma cockrels...pretty sure...but I know they are very slow maturing birds.

    Rooster Crowing Observations

    I will say...so far...hes very friendly and hope he stays that way. He fusses a bit when hes first held, but settles down nicely and actually comes up to me often and tugs at my glove.
