    Wierd Rooster Sounds

    I'm curious too, my juvenile roo makes the oddest moans and groans. And he does this while standing in the nesting box. Maybe he is happy that the hens are laying...

    I have a juvenile Buff Orpington Roo, named Dolly because of course he was supposed to be a hen, he crows very happily, but sometimes he makes a weird groaning or moaning sound. What is this? My tiny d'Uccle Mille Fleur makes a similar sound when she is laying an egg, and boy is she vocal...

    How to tame Roosters?

    Dolly, my Buff Orpington, just started crowing last week... s/he is 4 months old. I hope to keep him. Is it too late to try to handle him more, be his alpha so he doesn’t turn into a jerk?

    Pullet eating and alert, not walking

    She is eating well, and drinking. I think she may have cocci. I was able to get Corid at the feed store. I'm dosing the other pullets as well. Will it harm my older chickens to drink the medicated water?

    Pullet eating and alert, not walking

    One of my 16 week old Barred Rock pullets is eating and drinking, but wobbles when she walks and won't engage with the rest of the flock. She was vaccinated. I think she may have a physical injury. I am keeping her apart from the rest of the flock. She eats readily. I am sort of loathe to...

    Hi from Los Gatos, CA
