    Scaredy-Cat Rooster

    I have a pullet that we are just about sure is a rooster now. he/she crows, and hasn't started laying yet (if it'll ever!) However, it is a super scaredy cat. It is the lowest in the pecking order, and just trying to approach it will make him/her run away in fright. I also hear the roosters are...

    Agressive chicken

    I have a Sussex that is constantly bullying her sister. Her sis will be sitting down in the shade and the sussex will come up and bite her head. She won't let go either! Her sis doesn't run away either. She squawks when she gets bitten and puffs up, but other than that just sits there and lets...

    5mth old chick wanting to go into the nesting box. Normal?

    Chickens can start laying as early as 4 months, actually. It all depends on the breed and the chicken itself. It seems that one chick has just started puberty.

    Best age for meat?

    I have a couple dual purpose hens that are a little over a year old. Is now the best time to kill them? What age is chicken meat the best? I heard that for old chickens their meat isn't really good for anything but soup. Should I wait and get a few more eggs out of them or act now?

    Ducks out of Water

    I am thinking about getting some ducklings. I have a very large backyard that I already raise 11 chickens in. I would buy maybe 3 to 4 ducklings. I have no pond or anything for them either. What do you suggest for this situation? Should I buy ducks? Will the chickens be able to cooperate with...

    It could also be a rat or a squirrel.

    mouse eating chickens!!

    oh wow! i certainly wish my chickens eat mice, because my family currently has a huge mouse/squirrel problems. if they could just gobble them up, it would be amazing. But no...I've actually seen a chicken and a squirrel eating together at the feeder before.

    Do chickens have a "sweet spot"?

    i don't believe chickens have a sweet spot: mine prefer being left alone to being picked up or petted.

    Are my pullets waterproof?

    Let them roam around! I am from Portland, so my chickens also know a lot about the rain. The rain only matters if it is pouring down rain, and then my chickens naturally go to hide under one of the trees or in the coop. If you also live in Portland, (which i assume you do since you are...
