    Adult rooster scared of everyone

    They have a pretty big garden for themselves, with 2 houses (real old houses) that they can get in and out so the space is not really a problem. The ratio was 30 hens to 2 roosters, i tought keeping the ratio high would destroy the posibility of the roosters fighting, and it did for 2.5 years...

    Adult rooster scared of everyone

    Hi! I posted a week or so ago a topic in which i explained that my 3 year old rooster was being beaten by my 2.5 brahma roo. Long story short i gave away the brahma today. Happy that the old roo can be the boss again, can be the guardian that my flock needed, i reintegrated him into the flock(i...

    Roosters sudden fight. HELP?

    I dont either thats why i'm baffled. They grew up together, when the brahma was growing up no fighting, when brahma was a teenager no fighting, when brahma became a full on rooster no fighting, 2.5-3 full years no fighting ever, i had other roosters that would dismount one another from hens but...

My latest flock has always slept outside in the trees, but given the fact that their breed is not strong against cold i would want to know if there is a way to teach them to go at nigh in a new sleeping spot...

    What is this? Help me out.

    Hi, welcome to BYC, that is a cockerel, you can see that a bit by his shape, tall with a big chest (that it's not a 100% indicator) and by his saddle feathers, the long feathers that are dropping down right before the tail.

    Why Have a Rooster?

    Maybe im kinda late to the party but i would like to share a bit of my experience. So i've been around chickens my whole life, my father being a engineer at a big chicken breeding company. During that time the 2 roosters that we've had (not at the same time), have 1. became agressive after a...

    Hen ejecting sperm?

    I would check for the so called "Bulls eye" in the egg of the Orpington hen, that way you will most likely know that he is infertile or still not that experienced in mating. I will say that you can figure that out because 2 hens rejecting the semen is very strange to me, never had something like...
