    Not usual pecking order behavior?

    I have an Americana pullet (possibly cockerel?) seriously picking on my barred rock cockerel. I’m not sure if this is normal behavior, but my Americana actively seeks my Barred Rock out, if I’m giving them attention. The Americana chases him around pecking at his face. This started only a few...

    Establishing a pecking order?

    My chicks are 4 weeks old, and sometimes get into little scuffles. They’ll square each other up, fluff their feathers and flap a bit, with the occasional pecking. I feel like this is just them establishing their hierarchy since no one’s getting singled out or injured, but I just wanted to be...

    I think I have a rooster

    Okay, and if you look at the second picture you can already see waddles. And he didn’t have tail feathers until about a week ago.

    Things you wish you could say

    If people are saying you’re not a good a person to your face, which you then deny, and then turn around and start calling people awful names, THEN YOURE NOT A GOOD PERSON

    Help! Aggressive rooster or just dominant?

    That boy is stew bound. Aggression is usually genetic in chickens, so any other cockerels he sires will also be extremely aggressive. To the pot he must go!

    How Many Roosters Could I Have?

    Hey y’all, I’ve got 22 chicks, one of which I’m assuming is a rooster. I ordered all pullets, but we all know that’s not guaranteed, and will probably end up with at least one roo. So. That brings me too my question. How many Roos could I have without it being a problem? I’ve read a ton of...

    I think I have a rooster

    My chicks are 4 weeks old, so I could be very wrong about this, but my man Merle checks almost all the boxes for being a rooster. I’ve uploaded some pictures of both Patsy (my barred rock pullet) and Merle (my suspected cockerel). The first two are of Patsy and the second two are of Merle. I’m...

    Hoover’s Mix Up?

    Okay, I’m back. I have another suspicion. I think the australorp was in fact just pigmentation, but I have two barred rocks which one of which I think could be a roo. The possible roo has a bit larger and redder comb, no tail feathers, and lighter legs, body, and a thinner silver blot on his...

    Hoover Mix-Up?

    I posted this on Raising Chicks, and got some great opinions, but I wanted to post this on the gender thread, since I didn’t realize there was one earlier. I bought some pullets from a home and garden store (a small business) who gets their chicks from Hoover’s hatchery. They only sell pullets...

    Too early to say?

    Our Australorp rooster had a comb like this at about this age, however this is a different breed so it may not be cockerel.

    Hoover’s Mix Up?

    Okay, I tried to get some better ones. The first picture is one of my other Austrolorps, and the second is of the suspected cockerel.

    Hoover’s Mix Up?

    The lighting was really bad, and my phone died before I could get better ones, so that could be it. I’ll upload some more in a bit, I think they could be a better view.
