    Rooster aggression help?

    I have never had a rooster jumping over the fence attack a person, in fact roosters are not that high on the food chain. In theory, anything above on the food chain can cause more damage to a person, that include, but not limit to: cats, dogs, foxes, wolves, eagles etc, etc. If someone's kid...

    Rooster aggression help?

    I am saying that people should be given all the information so they can choose solutions that suit them the best. I am not against others butcher their aggressive roosters for I am not a vegan/vegetarian myself. I am just saying it's possible to keep those roosters if you love them enough and...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Thanks @Sylvester017 @alinas2010 My roosters might look gallant, but they are actually timid, almost always stay in the middle paddock where our cabin and their own coop is. Sometimes they come to the front door of the cabin to check what we are doing in the cabin. They are generally sweet...

    Soft eggs—now no eggs?

    You can provide a dish of crushed oyster shells for your birds if you have not already. Pullets/hens need calcium to form egg shells. Some pullets/hens ability to absorb calcium from food are better than the others, thus the need to provide extra calcium source for the birds that need it.

    Thank you. He indeed is a good natured rooster. IMO, Man Child is the best rooster for people in this flock, he is the best rooster for roosters.
