Thank you!

Almost 11 week old buff Orpington. I’m thinking this one is a rooster? There has been no crowing yet. Pictures aren’t the best

First time getting an Easter egger and not familiar with their temperament. This one is 3.5 weeks old and is probably the largest out of new chicks (buff orphingtons, silver laced Cochins and a Bielefelder roo). I can’t tell if her behavior is rooster like or if she is just going to be the main...

They have ample amount of space in the run and coop. The rooster doesn’t seem to step in at all he pretty much ignores her. I wasn’t sure if it was the breed. I have never had an americauna so I was unsure if it was typical for them to be picked on. She’s very sweet towards me (allows me to pick...

We just acquired a new flock of chickens. A total of 8 came together and we already had one hen and a rooster. One of the newer hens is an amercauna. She is smaller then all of the rest (red sex link, black sex link, silver laced, favorelles) and they all seem to pick on her. She plays dead (she...

No Wounds just a lot of missing tail feathers and a couple wing feathers. He is pretty much back to himself. The electrolytes perked him up the next day and hes been eating and drinking no problem :thumbsup

Our Rooster was attacked last night by a raccoon. Luckily we were quick enough to run outside and stop it before it became too serious and we killed the raccoon. Thankfully we have a pretty large and rugged rooster, the only thing wrong with him is he is missing a lot of his long tail feathers...

I have a NH Red Rooster, not sure how old he is (we got him from a friend, he was aggressive towards them and the other male rooster they had) he has had no signs of aggressive behaviors towards us and is actually friendly with us since we've taken him. He has been with just one hen for the past...

I am thinking in 2 more weeks they would be okay to be introduced to her. They are almost feathered out now but I would like to stretch it out a couple more weeks just to be on the safe side. Do you have a rooster in your flock? I am more worried about him then the existing hen.

i currently have one previous chicken left from our first flock plus one rooster. We have a new flock of 8 chicks. They have been in the coop separated from the chicken and rooster they are about 3 weeks old now. At how many weeks is it safe for them to be in the coop together?
