Yes I'm no expert at all and I have a lot to learn which is why I find this site so helpful. Chicken and dumplings are great! I'm glad I've found a solution that still lets me keep the two of them. My 4 year old son has names for them so he would not be too pleased if he found out we were having...
Yes thank you. All I wanted was friendly, helpful advice. I don't understand why some people feel the need to be smart about it. It's as simple as be respectful or don't even bother commenting at all. I wouldn't have posted in here if I didn't need helpful advice for the good my roosters. But I...
I posted this thread to get advice/ suggestions on what to do about the situation. Not to get snarky remarks about the way I posted or what information I SHOULD have given (even though it was already there). I appreciate everyone on here who offered friendly advice instead of trying to criticize...
Actually as I said it was in my first REPLY. On the first comment. Not that it matters.. But I did state a few times there was a game rooster involved in the comments. They were separated completely not long after I made this original post. The game rooster is with his hens in their own pen in...
I did indicate clearly in my first reply as well as a couple other replies my game rooster was one of the two involved. In the two years I've had him he's never caused problems. And I'm not sure which of the two started this.
Thank you. Yes I believe that's the main problem. They haven't been free ranging daily like they were before, I just let them out less because I've been losing them to predators recently. They're safe with my 3 large dogs as long as they stay inside the fenced part of the yard where they are...
My Ameraucana is about 3 years old. I raised him from a chick. The game rooster I'm not sure of his age. I got him about 2 years ago and he was grown. I believe he may be older.
That's what I'm going to do for sure. I'm going to move the game rooster in his own living space and he has a few hens that have a strong bond with him so they're going with him for sure.
I think that's something I'm going to do. I'm going to make a separate living space for the game rooster and put some hens in with him. And hopefully when I let them free range they'll stay out of each others way.
Thank you! Yes I definitely want to do something soon. That's why for now I have them separated until I find a solution. They have had no serious injuries so far, and I'd like to keep it that way. My game rooster which is smaller, had my Ameraucana rooster in the corner with his head down. And...
I have two roosters in my flock that have been living together peacefully for almost two years now. Well just since yesterday I noticed they have started fighting. I've had roosters fight before but these two don't know when to quit. I tried to stand back and watch, hoping they would stop once...
