Having had a good rooster and a nuisance rooster.. , I would never keep one who attacked me or the family or injured the hens. There’s always someone trying to re home roosters , find an honest person with a good rooster and make the switch
Imo.
Hello,
We have a 5.5 month old Brahma Rooster that has began his crowing journey just this morning. Out of respect for our neighbors I planned to find him a home once the crowing began. I have no issue driving to meet up with anyone within a few hours of my home in Suffolk County, NY
He is 5...
We have a copper maran farm mix rooster. There was jersey giant chickens on this farm as well so could be a mix.
His Birthday was mid May this year. Can’t have in our town, super nice , friendly , and relatively quiet overall.
I will drive up to 3 hours to rehome where he would be able to live...
Thank you for that info. Makes a lot of sense.
What my barred rock is doing most def seems like bullying. The rest will peck when eating or on root bar if they’re in the way … she will just stop what she’s doing to chase them. I do have lots of obstacles and perches , and space, so I think I’m...

Thanks
We have done one full clean , removed the poop tray and had an easy enough time. Sent my 9yo son in with some gloves to brush out the corners etc. With some rakes/brooms it’s was easy.
Coop is actually around 4ft (5 w egg boxes) by 6.5ft wide , I wish I went 8 but it is what it is.
I made a few changes to make it look much nicer from the outside (not showing the hardware cloth screws). Stained the run… painted Inside gloss white … and outside pink. All quality wood trim that fattens the out of pocket expense.
If I did it all over I’d raise it another 6-12 inches and...
I built this coop using Douglas fir from Lowe’s , most of the rest from Lowe’s except roof from Depot and it cost 1500 or so with paint , accessories , etc.
He came from my daughter’s 6th grade hatching project ! Him and his sister are pictured together in the one picture … my daughter said he had jersey giants and at first I thought he may have been one, but way too much color now.
Could he be anything else other than a copper maran?
