    Update: Returned Chicks to Mom

    Mom smashed a chick and seemed to be kicking them. Perhaps she was stressed after incubating them for someone long. I separated them for 5 days and let them gain some strength. Reunited them and the Momma is finally at peace and seems a lot more gentle now. Aren't they cute?!

    Chick crushed under mama hen

    My buff was such a good momma and I didn't have to worry she was so gentle with the babies. I witnessed this one step on and kick multiple babies when they're still wobbly and freshly hatched

    Should I give him a chance? Obnoxious cockerel

    Yeah I'm pretty split on the info I've read. Some people say there are roosters who never show such rough behaviors to hens even as teenagers, they are gentle. Seems like I'd have to test out a lot of roosters. Wish our australorp wasn't such an ass to humans. He's spurred my sister and attacked...

    Should I give him a chance? Obnoxious cockerel

    This blue sapphire gem/blue plymouth rock turned out to be a rooster. He has been tearing out feathers from the hens trying to mate them. He's about 5 months old. I am giving away an australorp rooster to an auction who is aggressive with humans, but good with the hens. This sapphire is the...
