    Aggressive rooster

    My rooster is about one year old and he is recently acting aggressive. The weird part is, he is only aggressive toward humans. With predators it also seems like he isn't doing his job, we have lost many hens. I will simply be outside giving them treats or just collecting eggs and he will sneak...

    Pigeon breed?

    I have two pigeons, that were my brothers but now I have taken them in. I am honestly unsure of the pigeon breed though, and my brother doesn't remember what the pigeon breeder told him when he got them. If anyone could help me identify the breed I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason...

    Can hens begin to lay at 15 weeks?

    I have a 15 week old silver laced Wyandotte hen, and I think she may have laid her first egg a couple days ago. It was at night time, and the shell was extremely soft. I already collected eggs from other hens so is it possible that my 15 week old hen laid this? I have a lot of hens, but none...

    If she's a new hen to the flock; it makes sense as to why she's a "loner". If not, maybe she just likes to roam on her own. If she's not getting picked on, then I think she will be fine. But you should keep an eye on her, because depending on her behavior there could be something wrong, or she...

    Dog attacked chickens. At least one pooping blood.

    My neighbors dog attacked my white leghorn hen a couple weeks back. She had several puncture wounds, and looked in awful condition. First thing I did was separate her from the rest of the flock, because she was weak and I didn't want others to pick on her. Then I set up a cage in my house...

    Chicks afraid to sleep in the coop

    I had a similar experience with my chickens. The first night I brought them in the coop, none of them could figure out how to get back up the ramp. They could get down just fine. By the second night, the oldest chicken I have figured out that she had to go up the ramp into the coop. None of the...
