    My 13wk old is crowing nonstop.

    I don't have any experience, but I don't like leaving threads unanswered. There is a comprehensive post on BYC: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/roster-collars-everything-you-need-to-know.75762/ Hope this helps!

    Two Roosters Kenosha County, Wisconsin

    Thank you for the link! Despite being on here for a few years, I don't navigate all that well. I just posted their "personal ad" for some lady friends/new home.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Hi everyone! I tried posting in the rehoming thread, and so far, no one is interested. I have two roos (well, both still cockerels, but one is almost fully roo) that need a new home. I cannot promise they will be nice or good with kids. They were good with my nephews, but as you know, their...

    Two Roosters Kenosha County, Wisconsin

    Hi everyone! I got my latest batch of chicks from the Racine Farm & Fleet. Turns out that two of my pullets are cockerels. I have a Brahma Roo (who, minus the spurs, seems to be fully mature--he tried mating with my three year old Easter Egger) and an Easter Egger cockerel (who is still sweet...

    Ginger (New Hampshire Red) hen getting personally offended I had no treats for her. This gal is a survivor and isn't afraid to unleash a melee attack if you are wearing boots in her run! Behind her is my EE, Tallulah.

    This was Clementine's (Cochin) behind in her awkward pullet stage. Next to her was Agatha going through the same growing pains. I no longer have either one of these girls, but they were pretty magnificent. I feel that pullets might be awkward, but they have a certain beauty to them. Also, I love...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    I have bars on the opposite side of the coop--when I had my older hens were alive, they would take one side and the younger girls would take the other. I might leave Dorothy alone/not handle her too much because she is definitely in a molt. For now she's going to get extra protein and extra...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    This is a dumb question, but do you think she's the one picking them or one of her sisters? She and her fellow cochin enjoy sleeping under my other girls (the ones who roost), so I know they end up getting pooped on often. I'll try your suggestion about putting them up on the roosting bar at...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    Right? It's so weird. I don't have any roos, but I do have one female who has taken on the role of the head roo (which she challenges me on a daily basis, but that is for another day). In the pecking order, Dorothy is #2 in terms of hens, but if I factor Ginger into being the roo, then Dorothy...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    After raising chickens for almost 6 years, I have never had a chicken molt before, but this is good to now learn! Thank you. Yes, you are absolutely right--she is molting! What in the heck? I will try your suggestion about putting my girls on the roosting bar. Unfortunately, I lost a few this...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    Thank you! My cochins cuddle at night (I call it the Cochin pile), so I was unable to take photos when I got home from my classes, though I will upload photos tomorrow morning! On the pecking order, she is #2. I have 4 surviving girls in a 72 square foot coop. Dorothy (aka bare butt) sits on top...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    These are great questions that I should have addressed earlier--I'm sorry about that! It's under her cloaca (that area looks normal as is her tail/tail feathers). The area where her feathers meet her legs are fine (I'll get pictures when I get home from school). For the most part, the skin looks...

    Bald Spot on Butt

    I will get and post photos later, but has anyone ever had a bald spot on their hen's behind? I have never had a hen with a bald spot before. A little background: I have no roosters, so I doubt it's caused by breeding. I live in the Midwest in the USA, so we're in winter, so I don't think it's...
